Abstract:
We describe a case of isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in a 20 years old girl following trauma. Dislocation was reduced through a new and simple reduction technique after failure of classic reduction maneuver. This technique by using isokinetic movements lead to relax the fibular collateral ligament and allow the biceps tendon to snap the proximal end of the fibula back into the anatomical position. This technique propose simple maneuver to reduce isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation.
