Dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint.A new method for fixation.
We introduce a new method for fixation of a rare, isolated, proximal tibiofibular dislocation. One third of the biceps femoris muscle tendon was used for fixation of the dislocated proximal fibular head. The fixation was achieved by using a soft threaded interference ACL screw.
