PROXIMAL TIBIOFIBULAR SYNOSTOSIS- 'LOVE OF TIBIA AND FIBULA'

Abstract

Tibiofibular synostosis may manifest as proximal, diaphyseal, or distal tibiofibular synostosis, occurs before the closure of the physeal plates. Proximal tibiofibular synostosis is a very rare pathology and few cases have been documented in the literature. Our patient, aged 21, was admitted to our hospital's orthopedic clinic with right knee pain. The patient was first assessed using lateral and A-P knee radiographs. There was a bone protrusion that almost joins the tibia and fibula .The patient was then examined using non-contrast right knee MRI and extremity CT scans. The medullary continuity that connects the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula was seen on a CT scan, along with a partially sclerosed bone bridge. To summarize, Proximal Tibiofibular Synostosis is a pathology that interferes with the patient's daily life by causing chronic pain, muscle atrophy, or sensory problems in the knee and ankle. Early and accurate diagnosis strengthens our role as radiologists in referring patients to surgery, which remains the most effective treatment option
