Abstract
Hoffa fractures are rare fractures of the femoral condyle that occur in
the coronal plane of the bone. In most cases, high-energy trauma leads
to isolated coronal fractures of one of the femoral condyles, medial or
lateral. Even with a typical unicondylar Hoffa fracture, our patient
sustained a bicondylar Hoffa fracture in his right knee after falling
from high and suffering direct trauma as well. The fracture was
approached from both the medial and lateral sides of the distal femur.
Three-month follow-up showed excellent functional scores, no laxity, and
no pain.

ligament, medial collateral ligament, Surgery, Approch
