We introduce a new method for fixation of a rare, isolated, proximal tibiofibular dislocation. One third of the biceps femoris muscle tendon was used for fixation of the dislocated proximal fibular head. The fixation was achieved by using a soft threaded interference ACL screw.

Introduction: Fibular- and tibiofibular-based reconstructions are the gold standard treatment for posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries of the knee. This is the first report describing a wholly tibial-based PLC reconstruction.
Case Report: A 50-year-old female presented with knee instability following proximal fibular resection for a benign tumor, associated with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency from a previous injury.

Purpose: While treatment modalities for Maisonneuve fractures involving the proximal third of the fibula are established, no studies to date have reported outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation of middle third fibular shaft fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation in the treatment of Maisonneuve fractures involving the middle third of the fibula.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 257 cases of syndesmotic ankle instability with associated fibular fractures at a level 1 trauma center between 2013 and 2023.

Purpose: (1) To evaluate the incidence and combination types of concomitant malleolar and fibular fractures in patients with distal spiral tibial shaft fractures. (2) To evaluate the risk factors for concomitant malleolar fractures in patients with distal spiral tibial shaft fractures.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 64 cases of surgically treated distal spiral tibial shaft fractures with complete radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans.

Objective: To investigate ideal screw implant angle in reconstruction of tibiofibular syndesmosis injury by using a biomechanical test.
Methods: A total of 24 ankle specimens from adult cadavers were used as the tibiofibular syndesmosis injury model. According to the angle of screw placement, the tibiofibular syndesmosis injury models were randomly divided into groups A (0°), B (10°-15°), C (20°-25°), and D (30°-35°), and the screws were placed at a level 2 cm proximal to the ankle joint.

: The resection of tumors of the proximal fibula includes the removal of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and biceps femoris tendon (BFT) attachment. The aim was to describe and evaluate a surgical reconstruction technique in terms of functional outcome and knee joint stability. : We analyzed the outcome of six patients, treated by a proximal fibula resection.
