Abstract:
Recurrent dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is a rare injury. It has been reported in parachutists and water-skiers. A technique for reconstructing the joint by using an iliotibial band fascial graft is described. This technique is recommended for recurrent dislocations of a nonarthritic proximal tibiofibular joint.
