Abstract

» Hoffa fractures are intra-articular distal femoral condylar fractures commonly arising from high-energy trauma with the knee in a flexed position.» Motor vehicle accidents and falls from a height are the most commonly cited mechanisms that engage the lateral or the medial condyle, depending on the internal or external rotation of the knee.» Standard weight-bearing after screw fixation should be delayed for approximately 12 weeks.» Most of the literature found on Hoffa fractures placed more focus on the surgical approach or fixation method rather than outcomes associated with the number or type of screws used.
