Triplane fracture of distal femur in an adult rare case study and review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 30-year-old patient sustained the fracture in a motorcycle accident. A triplane-type of fracture of the distal femur was confirmed by CT scan. The trochlear fragment was reduced anatomically and was stabilized with 6.5mm cannulated screws. Once reconstruction of the coronal plane fracture was performed, the split lateral condylar fragment was fixed with a cannulated screw to the medial fragment converting three parts into one fragment. The mechanism of injury seems to be axial load to the distal femur with the knee in short of extension combined with the shearing force from the anteromedial aspect producing an anterior tangential fracture pattern. Triplane fractures are by definition fractures that have a component involving all 3 planes: sagittal, coronal and transverse, commonly seen before physeal fusion. Our case is the first reported case of triplane fracture in distal femur in an adult patient.

متن کاملOpen vertical sagittal fracture patella with fracture lateral condyle femur: approach to a rare injury
Patellar fracture is a relatively uncommon fracture especially the vertical sagittal type. In cases of high energy trauma injury, it is usually associated with fracture of ipsilateral distal femur or proximal tibia. However, the combination of vertical sagittal fracture patella and ipsilateral fracture lateral condyle is very rare. This necessitates judicious diagnosis and appropriate managemen...
متن کاملTriplane Fracture of the Proximal Tibia: A Case Report and Literature Review
Background The triplane fracture, a unique transitional physeal injury, is classically described in the distal tibia. A small number of additional anatomic locations are documented in the orthopaedic literature. Methods Available literature surrounding triplane fractures was reviewed. We describe a rare case of a proximal tibial triplane fracture in a thirteen-year-old girl, suffered during a...

We present a case of an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture and a distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula in a 14-year-old boy. Computed tomography revealed the distal tibial triplane fracture with a 2.6-mm displaced Tillaux fragment and a posterior malleolar shear fragment. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed to optimise healing and outcome. This is a rare injury, fo...
