What is Is Stability of the Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Important in the Multiligament-injured Knee? about?

## Background: The incidence of proximal tibiofibular joint instability in the setting of the multiligament-injured knee has not been previously reported. the integrity of the proximal tibiofibular joint is required to perform a fibular-based, lateral-sided knee reconstruction. ## Questions/purposes: We report (1) the frequency of proximal tibiofibular joint instability in patients presenting with multiligament knee injuries and evaluate (2) our ability to restore stability to this joint, (3) patient-reported outcome scores, and (4) complications in patients surgically treated for proximal tibiofibular joint instability at the time of treatment of multiligament knee instability. ## Methods: From 2005 to 2013, 124 patients (129 knees) sustaining multiligament knee injuries with grade 3 instability to at least two ligaments were treated at our institution. we defined proximal tibiofibular joint instability as a dislocated or dislocatable proximal tibiofibular joint at the time of surgery. these patients underwent surgery to restore proximal tibiofibular joint stability and ligament reconstruction or repair and were followed with routine clinical examination, radiographs, and subjecti
