Abstract

Fracture at the distal end of the femur usually occurs in the sagittal plane. Hoffa fracture, i.e., coronal slice fracture of the condyles of the femur, is rare in adults and even rarer in children.

In the case we wish to discuss here presented to our emergency room with an open knee injury due to a road traffic accident. Imaging of the right lower limb revealed an open Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB bicondylar Hoffa fracture with an anterior dislocation of knee with a comminuted patella and a shaft of femur fracture with a posteriorly dislocated hip.

He underwent a successful stabilization and cannulated cancellous screw fixation of the Hoffa fracture and fixation of other injuries.

Keywords

Hoffa fracture - posterior dislocation of hip - Bicondylar - cannulated cancellous screws - Supracondylar fracture of femur
