[Idiopathic recurrent proximal tibiofibular dislocation in adults. 3 cases treated by an original surgical technic]

Three cases of recurrent dislocation of the proximal end of the fibula were seen and treated by an original technique combining a fibulo-tibial screw and the creation of a pseudarthrosis at the upper end of the fibula shaft. The results were satisfactory. The authors have made a review of the literature and found seventeen comparable cases, ten in children and seven in adults. The authors describe the complications which may follow a tibio fibular arthrodesis or resection of the proximal end of the fibula.
