Hoffa fractures are known as coronal fractures of the femoral condyle and are rare injuries account for less than 1% of distal femur fractures [1-4]. The association of Hoffa fracture and proximal tibial fractures is even rarer [5]. It is an intraarticular fracture of the posterior aspect of the femoral condyle in coronal plane, resulting from high-energy traumas motor vehicle accidents (most c...

Coronal shear fracture of the distal femoral condyle is an unusual injury. Medial condylar Hoffa fracture is a rare injury and has anecdotally been reported in the literature. We describe a rare case of medial condyle Hoffa fracture and its management. A 35-year-old female labourer presented to Orthopaedic emergency with the complaint of acute pain and swelling in her left knee following fall f...

Intraarticular coronal fracture of the femoral condyle is rare, and an isolated medial Hoffa fracture in a child is extremely rare. To our knowledge, such a case has not yet been reported in the literature. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for a good long-term outcome. We report a case of 12-year-old male who suffered a traffic accident and sustained an isolated medial Hoffa f...

INTRODUCTION Bicondylar Hoffa fracture is a rare injury with implant failure and non unions as known complications. CASE REPORT Two cases of Bicondylar Hoffa fractures with implant failure and nonunion treated successfully with long stem total knee arthroplasty are reported here. At a minimum follow up of 2 years both the implants were well fixed and the fractures have united. The knee societ...

conclusions in our study, we treated this rare fracture successfully using a modified swashbuckler approach and found it to be a good approach for such fractures as compared to the conventional approach. case presentation a 32-year-old male sustained a bicondylar hoffa fracture of the right femur which was treated by open reduction and internal fixation using a modified swashbuckler approach. a...

In this report, we present a case of an uncommon coronal fracture of the femoral condyle, known as a Hoffa fracture. Classification of these injuries and commonly associated injuries are discussed. We describe previously proposed mechanisms of injury and review the current literature. The difficulty in establishing radiologic diagnosis on the basis of radiography exclusively is emphasized. Fina...

Unicondylar fractures of the femur that occur in the coronal plane (Hoffa fractures) are uncommon and most often affect the lateral condyle. Conservative treatment generally yields poor results, but rigid internal fixation allows early functional rehabilitation and decreases the incidence of malunion, nonunion, and stability loss. This case report describes open reduction and internal fixation ...

Dear Editor,We have greatly enjoyed reading the case report entitled “‘Femoral Condyle Fracture during Revision of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Case Report and a Review of Literature in the issue of Arch Bone Jt Surg. 2015;3(2) with great interest. We would like to commend the authors for their detailed and valuable work. Although various case reports have described postoperative ...
