Proximal tibiofibular dislocation is a rare injury, especially in children. This case report details a 6-year-old boy with this injury and a tibial fracture following a road accident.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Pediatric traumatology
Radiology

Background:

Proximal tibiofibular dislocation is an uncommon injury.
Pediatric cases are exceptionally rare, often associated with high-energy trauma.
Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes.

Observation:

A 6-year-old boy presented after a road traffic accident.
Clinical examination revealed signs suggestive of proximal tibiofibular dislocation.
Radiographic imaging confirmed the dislocation and an associated tibial metaphyseal fracture.

Findings:

The patient sustained a rare proximal tibiofibular dislocation.
The injury was compounded by a metaphyseal fracture of the tibia.
