Concomitant ipsilateral proximal tibia and femoral Hoffa fractures
Öz
Objective: The aim of this study was to report our experience on concomitant ipsilateral proximal tibia and femoral Hoffa fractures.
Methods: Nine patients (8 male, 1 female; mean age: 30.9; range: 19-49 years) presented to our emergency room with an ipsilateral proximal tibia and femoral Hoffa fracture, following road traffic accident. Six patients had open fracture. Two patients had ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture, two patients had fracture of intercondylar part of distal femur, one had fracture of patella and one had fracture of both bones of the leg. Out of nine Hoffa’s fracture eight involved lateral and one involved medial femoral condyle. There were five type II, two type VI, one type I and one type IV proximal tibial fracture according to Schatzker classification.
Results: Mean duration of follow-up was 13 months (range: 9-21 months). At final follow-up, all fractures united. Mean knee society score was 163 (range: 127-182). Mean ROM at knee joint was 97.4 degrees (75°-115°).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that in this combination of intraarticular fractures anatomic reduction and rigid fixation followed by early mobilization reveal satisfactory results.
