Tibiofibular joints have been neglected in literature and clinically. Some researchers have established biomechanical principles, defined pathological problems and developed the methods of evaluation and orthopedic manual therapy. The evaluation should also take into account that injuries of the knee and ankle region can always result in tibiofibular joints. The orthopedic manual therapy can be effectively applied to disease caused by tibiofibular joints.

High ankle sprain (distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury) occurs from rotational injuries, specifically external rotation, and may be associated with ankle fractures. The prevalence of these injuries may be higher than previously reported because they may be missed in an initial examination. Syndesmosis injury can lead to significant complications in injured ankle joints, so a precise physical examination and radiological evaluation is necessary. The most important treatment goal is to have the tibia and fibula located in the correct position with respect to each other and to heal in that position. The methods to fix these injuries is controversial.
