Abstract

We report a rare case of isolated traumatic anterolateral dislocation of proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in a 41 year old female patient who was admitted in our institution following a twisting injury to knee. Initial clinical examination and plain radiographs were equivocal needing bilateral axial Computed Tomography (CT) scan for definite diagnosis. We discuss the various aspects of this rare injury including the current management options and clinical outcome.
