Just wanted to let you know that my tib and fib do this. Extremely painful. I use heat to relax the muscles and then manipulate it all back into place as well as I can. If it happens at the ankle end, I splint it when it is reset, but I don't have any knee splints to immobilise it at the knee if that is the end that has dislocated. <shrug> Once it is all back in place (or near enough) elevation and ice should help with the swelling.
