Acute osteochondral fracture of lateral femoral condyle in karate

Abstract

Karate, meaning "empty hand" is a weaponless martial art which has originated from Japan and China it is a sport which has unique clothing and which is done on a polyurethane mattress. With in Iimits of certain ruIes, it is allowed to hit the opponent with kick and punch without giving any harm. In this report, a male karate player, who is 18 year 5 old, training Mawashi-geri technique with his right foot, forced his Ieft Iower extremity into valgus and external rotation, from his knee joint and an acute osteochondral fracture of the Iateral condyle of the Ieft femur, is presented. The fracture which first detected in plain graphies and then whose origin was seen by MRI, was treated with absorbable pins and fibrin adhesive system under open reduction. After revising the Iiteratures it is seen that fractures are misdiagnosed rather than being rare fractures. In order not to miss these fractures, after trauma to the knee when blood is aspirated from the knee with fat globules and when no other pathology is observed a through and careful investigation of the patient in terms of acute osteochondral fractures must be done.
