A 19-year-old male soccer player presented with pain in the right anterolateral proximal leg region 5 days after injury. Despite negative plain radiographs and lack of joint deformity there was suspicion of an anterolateral proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation that spontaneously reduced. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis of a recent dislocation.
