Abstract

Hoffa fracture designated as intraarticular coronal plane femoral condyle fracture are the uncommon injury in orthopaedics. Hoffa fracture associated with cruciate ligament avulsion fracture are rather rare injuries reported. We encountered 2 cases of Hoffa fracture with cruciate ligament avulsion fracture in our hospital. These cases were managed by open reduction and internal fixation of femoral condyle with 2 lag screws and screw fixation of avulsion fracture of cruciate ligament. Patients were followed up for 18 months. KOOS functional knee score was used to evaluate the outcome. Excellent result in one and good result was observed in second case regarding postoperative knee movement, weight bearing, pain and bony union.
