Distal and Proximal Tibiofibular Dislocation: A Maisonneuve Equivalent. Case Report
Abstract
We present a 32-year-old male patient with simultaneous dislocation of the proximal and distal tibiofibular joint without associated fibula fracture, an atypical injury and with very few cases described in the literature, presented after a sports trauma. By mechanism of trauma and analysis of the injury, it is set up parallel with a Maisonneuve injury. The diagnosis was made by radiographs which showed a diastasis in the proximal tibiofibular joint and an increase in the medial clear space in the ankle. Treatment included closed reduction of the proximal dislocation and an open reduction with internal fixation of the distal dislocation. After twelvemonths of follow-up, the patient showed a complete recovery, without pain or instability, and with a satisfactory American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS) score, which allowed him to resume his sports and work activity.Downloads
