Femoral Avulsion

Femoral avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is less common compared to the tibial side. Especially, femoral avulsion in an elderly patient is an extremely rare condition. Until now, there is no report that describes its treatment and clinical outcome in elderly patients. We demonstrate an 82-year-old female who presented with osteochondral avulsion fracture of the femoral attachment of the PCL. The osteochondral fragment was fixed with an arthroscopic transfemoral suture technique. After treatment, the pain was improved and the patient achieved previous daily activity within 6 weeks. After 6 months, plain X-ray and computed tomography scans demonstrated consolidation of osteochondral fragment. The Lysholm score was 78 points at final office visit. This simple and less invasive approach is useful for pain relief and earlier return to daily activity in an elderly patient with osteoporosis.

Abstract BackgroundSince Hoffa fractures are usually the result of high-energy injuries, many additional accompanying injuries have been described. This is the first paper representing the lateral condyle Hoffa fracture accompanying tibial avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).Case PresentationA 42-years-old male presented with swelling and instability in his left knee after falling during parachute landing. He was diagnosed with simultaneous Letenneur Type I lateral condyle Hoffa fracture and tibial avulsion fracture of the PCL. He was operated on with a single posterior incision for both fractures. Multiple cannulated lag screws were used for the fixation of the Hoffa fracture, and a buttress plate was used for additional stability. PCL avulsion fracture was fixed with a cannulated screw with a washer. The patient was allowed for full-weight-bearing and range of motion at the sixth week after the operation. No complications occurred during follow-up.ConclusionCare should be taken in terms of additional injuries that may accompany Hoffa fractures. The posterior approach allows easy access to both fractures with a single incision. Using a buttress plate after the fixation of the Hoffa fracture with multiple lag screws provides additional stability.
