Recurrent dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint.

Recurrent dislocation of the proximal tibiofibular joint is a rare injury. This report presents a case of bilateral recurrent dislocations of the proximal tibiofibular joint in a jet skier that responded to physical therapy and activity modification. A review of the literature is provided, with attention to the mechanism of injury and other treatment options--including arthrodesis and resection of the proximal fibula. This diagnosis should be considered in jet skiers with lateral-sided knee pain.
