Inferior dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint: a report on four cases.

ABSTRACT

The authors report four cases of inferior dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint. A literature search disclosed reports on superior, anterolateral and posterolateral dislocation, but none on inferior dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint. The latter was associated in these four cases with fracture of the tibia, as also noted in cases of superior dislocation, and with severe neurovascular lesions.
