In Situ Fixation of Symptomatic Fibrous Non-union Hoffa Fracture: A Case Report
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Femoral condyle fracture in coronal plane, also known as Hoffa fracture, is a rare fracture. Non-union of Hoffa fracture is even rarer. We present a case of fibrous nonunion of a Hoffa fracture in which the fractured fragment, though not freely movable, led to painful walking. Since the fragment was un-displaced and non-movable we fixed the fractured fragment in situ. Patient regained full range of motion of the knee and was asymptomatic on follow-up.
