Coronal Fractures of the Femoral Condyle
Coronal fractures of the femoral condyle (Hoffa fractures) are uncommon injuries that have a better outcome when treated surgically. We report a series affive Hoffa fractures (including one nonunion) treated at a Levell trauma center by one surgeon employing a protocol ofopen reduction and internal fIxation with lag screws through a formal parapatellar approach. Postoperatively, all patients be...
متن کاملCoronal fractures of the lateral femoral condyle.
We reviewed seven patients with coronal fractures of the lateral femoral condyle and studied the mechanism of injury and the radiological features. The influence of soft tissue attachments on the displacement and the blood supply were investigated by clinical and cadaveric studies. All three fractures which were initially undisplaced lost position early during conservative management. Internal ...
متن کاملHoffa Fracture of the Femoral Condyle
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...
متن کاملThe association between supracondylar-intercondylar distal femoral fractures and coronal plane fractures.
BACKGROUND Isolated coronal plane fractures of the distal femoral condyles (Hoffa fractures) occur uncommonly, are difficult to diagnose, and may be challenging to treat. The combination of supracondylar distal femoral fractures and these coronal plane fractures is thought to occur rarely. The purposes of the present study were to identify the frequency of the association between supracondylar-...
متن کاملCoronal fractures of the distal femoral condyle: a biomechanical evaluation of four internal fixation constructs.
This study evaluated different fixation methods in posterior femoral condyle coronal fractures. A standardised osteotomy was created in synthetic composite femurs and fixed with one of four methods (one 3.5 mm diameter screw, two 3.5 mm screws, one 6.5 mm screw, two 6.5 mm screws). The stiffness and mean loads to specified displacements were measured. The stiffness of two 6.5 mm screws was sign...
