Bicondylar Hoffa Fracture Successfully Treated with Headless Compression Screws
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bicondylar coronal plane fracture, eponymically named Hoffa fractures, is an extremely rare injury. We present a case of isolated unilateral bicondylar Hoffa fracture that was successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation using headless compression screws with satisfactory results. We inserted posteroanteriorly oriented Acutrak screws perpendicular to the fracture plane via lateral parapatellar arthrotomy, which provided excellent compression across the fracture.

A Case of Distal Femur Medial Condyle Hoffa Type II(C) Fracture Treated with Headless Screws
Coronal plane fractures of the distal femur are less frequent compared to sagittal plane fractures. They were described by Hoffa in 1904 and are known as Hoffa fractures (AO type B3). They are isolated fractures of the femoral condyle and rare in occurrence. The objective in the treatment of these fractures is to achieve anatomical reduction of the articular surface and a stable fixation to pre...

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...
متن کاملCASE REPORT Operative Treatment of Unilateral Bicondylar Hoffa Fractures
A rare case of unilateral bicondylar fractures of the femoral condyles is presented. Internal fixation of the fragments was achieved by three cancellous lag screws, followed by a short period of cast immobilization and intensive physiotherapy. Full weight bearing was allowed 3 months postoperatively. Full range of motion of the knee and no presence of articular defects on femoral condyles were ...
متن کاملOperative Treatment of Isolated Bicondylar Hoffa Fracture With a Modified Swashbuckler Approach
INTRODUCTION An isolated coronal fracture of either or both femoral condyles is a rare entity and is usually associated with high-energy injury trauma. Such fractures should be meticulously fixed for a good functional outcome as they involve the articular surface of a weight bearing joint. A modified swashbuckler approach provides adequate exposure for appropriate reduction and fixation of such...
متن کاملComparison of Five Headless Screws for Fixation of Small Bones
Headless screws are favored for internal fixation in the treatment of displaced or unstable small bone (e.g., Scaphoid) fractures, because they are embedded below the articular surface of the bone, reducing tissue irritation and immobilization. Compression plays an important role in fracture stability, maintaining gap reduction and also accelerating the healing of cancellous bone [1]. There are...
