case_images: Anteroposterior radiograph of the patient's left knee showing lateral tibiofibular dislocation. The arrow highlights the lack of tibiofibular overlap. "Red dot" indicates an abnormality identified by the radiographer

case_images: Plain radiographs of the knee were suggestive of proximal tibiofibular dislocation, with no overlap of the fibula and tibia on the anteroposterior (AP) film (Figure 1), and anterior displacement of the fibular head on the lateral film (Figure 2).
case_images: Lateral radiograph of the patient's left knee showing anterior tibiofibular dislocation. The arrow indicates the direction of dislocation in this view.

case_images: Coronal proton density fat saturation MRI [repetition time (TR) = 4500/echo time (TE) = 32.18] of the left knee showing high signal around the tibiofibular ligament complex (thin arrow) and lateral translation of the fibular head (thick arrow).

case_images: Axial proton density fat saturation MRI [repetition time(TR) = 3480/echo time (TE) = 31.87] of the left knee showing high signal around the tibiofibular ligament complex (thin arrow) and anterolateral translation of the fibular head (thick arrow).

case_images: Anteroposterior post-reduction image intensifier image of the left knee showing normal tibiofibular overlap. Arrow indicates the area of tibio-fibular overlap.
