- The coronal unicondylar fracture of the distal femur (AO 33-B3) is a rare intraarticular injury within the weight bearing area of the knee, initially described by Albert Hoffa in 1904. We report an unusual combination of a Hoffa fracture with lateral patellar dislocation in a young adult. Our patient sustained the injury by a sudden twist of his leg during sports. He presented clinically with knee swelling, dislocation of the patella, and localized tenderness; unable to bare weight. After plane radiograph confirmed the injury, manual reductionThe coronal unicondylar fracture of the distal femur (AO 33-B3) is a rare intraarticular injury within the weight bearing area of the knee, initially described by Albert Hoffa in 1904. We report an unusual combination of a Hoffa fracture with lateral patellar dislocation in a young adult. Our patient sustained the injury by a sudden twist of his leg during sports. He presented clinically with knee swelling, dislocation of the patella, and localized tenderness; unable to bare weight. After plane radiograph confirmed the injury, manual reduction of the patella was done by hyperextension of the knee and medialward pressure. Afterwards, a CT scan and MRI were conducted. The injury was surgically treated with lag-screws, locking-plate and MPFL-reconstruction.…
