The x-ray of the left leg, ( frontal and lateral views ) shows bony fusion of proximal fibula with the lateral side of the tibia, a normal fibular length, mild bowing in the proximal fibula and widening of the interosseous distance.
Case Discussion
Disorders at the level of the tibiofibular joint are rare, the proximal tibiofibular synostosis is one of these, and few cases are been reported.
