Dislocation of the fibular head is rare. In most of the cases a trauma caused by sports activity, sometimes associated with a tibia fracture, is described. Only a few publications exist about habitual dislocation of the fibular head without history of trauma. This article reports a case of bilateral habitual anterolateral dislocation of the fibular head in a 17-year-old female. There was no information about a neurological or other disease and no sign of generalized ligamentous laxity. Because of marked symptoms with severe pain after each sensation of dislocation which appeared several times a day, the patient was treated by using a part of the biceps tendon for fixation of the reduced fibular head.
