ABSTRACT
CASE A 57-year-old man presented with tricompartmental left knee osteoarthritis, as well as proximal tibiofibular joint arthritis and a ganglion cyst. He underwent simultaneous total knee arthroplasty and proximal tibiofibular joint arthrodesis, with an excellent outcome. CONCLUSION:
Proximal tibiofibular joint arthritis is uncommon and may be associated with tibiofemoral arthritis, proximal tibiofibular joint instability, and ankylosing spondylitis. We present a case of simultaneous total knee arthroplasty and proximal tibiofibular arthrodesis. This is an effective option for treating patients with dual pathology. The proximal tibiofibular joint should be considered as an uncommon cause of lateral knee pain.
