Abstract
Bilateral proximal fibular head prominence is a rare case of chronic knee pain and can befound in isolation or as a part of multiple ligamentous or bony knee injuries. There is prominence of proximal fibula on clinical examination with tenderness on palpation. Radiological investigation can confirm the diagnosis;in the case of our patient, both plain radiograph and MRI magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. MRI helps in the assessment of the intrinsic knee ligament, as well as the course of common peroneal nerve. The prominent proximal fibular head excision was performed successfully under general anaesthesia in different sittings.
