J Pediatr Orthop B. 1997 Jan;6(1):70-2. doi: 10.1097/01202412-199701000-00015.

Abstract

Proximal tibiofibular dislocation is an exceptional lesion. Rarer still is its presentation in childhood. We describe the clinical case of a 6-year-old boy, the victim of a road accident. He had a tibiofibular dislocation associated with a metaphyseal fracture of the tibia.
