   To add to the discussion I must point out that anything that effects the fibula at the distal end will also result in the likelihood of a shift in the position if the proximal fibula. I frequently see patients that have recovered from their ankle sprain and come to complain about what they think is knee pain. The mechanism of inversion sprain usually causes the distal fibula to shift forward resulting in a pivoting of the proximal end shifting posterior. This results in pain at that site. There are several manipulative techniques available to restore the neutral position of this articulation that will releive the discomfort and restore normal function.
