    Proximal tibiofibular joint instability, often caused by trauma, presents in four main types. This study reviews diagnostic methods and surgical treatments for 19 patients, highlighting a new radiological technique.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Abnormalities of the proximal tibiofibular joint are rare.
    • Instability is primarily linked to traumatic injuries.
    • Four distinct types of instability exist: subluxation, anterolateral, posteromedial, and superior dislocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss radiological methods for visualizing proximal tibiofibular joint abnormalities.
    • To evaluate the clinical relevance of a novel diagnostic technique.
    • To review patient cases, treatment options, and outcomes for proximal tibiofibular joint instability.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of four radiological methods for proximal tibiofibular joint assessment.
    • Inclusion of a new radiological method with emphasis on its clinical utility.

  • Analysis of 19 patients diagnosed with proximal tibiofibular joint instability.
  • Discussion of patient history, physical examination findings, and surgical interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • Instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint was identified in 19 patients.
    • Surgical treatment was performed on 16 of the affected patients.
    • The study evaluates the effectiveness of various diagnostic and treatment approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • Proximal tibiofibular joint instability requires careful diagnosis using appropriate radiological methods.
    • Surgical intervention is frequently necessary for managing this condition.
    • Further investigation into novel diagnostic tools like the new radiological method is warranted.
