Isolated Hoffa Fracture - An Unusual and Commonly Forgotten Fracture

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 common) or a fall from a height [1,4,6]. Inherently unstable, due to bone instability as well as the pull of the gastrocnemius and popliteus [1,5].
