Background:

Recurrent dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is an uncommon injury.
This condition can cause significant lateral knee pain and functional impairment.

Observation:

A case study involving a jet skier with bilateral recurrent proximal tibiofibular joint dislocations is presented.
The patient experienced relief and improved function through conservative management.

Findings:

Physical therapy and activity modification were effective in managing bilateral recurrent proximal tibiofibular joint dislocations.
Literature review covers injury mechanisms and surgical options like arthrodesis and fibular resection.

Implications:

Clinicians should consider proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in jet skiers presenting with lateral knee pain.
Conservative treatment may be a viable option for this rare injury, potentially avoiding surgery.
