Bicondylar coronal plane fracture, eponymically named Hoffa fractures, is an extremely rare injury. We present a case of isolated unilateral bicondylar Hoffa fracture that was successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation using headless compression screws with satisfactory results. We inserted posteroanteriorly oriented Acutrak screws perpendicular to the fracture plane via lateral parapatellar arthrotomy, which provided excellent compression across the fracture.

Hoffa fractures are rare fractures of the femoral condyle that occur in the coronal plane of the bone. In most cases, high-energy trauma leads to isolated coronal fractures of one of the femoral condyles, medial or lateral. Even with a typical unicondylar Hoffa fracture, our patient sustained a bicondylar Hoffa fracture in his right knee after falling from high and suffering direct trauma as well.

Article Synopsis
- The Hoffa fracture is a rare type of fracture in the femoral condyles that can be difficult to diagnose with standard imaging.
- A 42-year-old man suffered a missed diagnosis of a Hoffa fracture after a motorcycle accident, initially treated with painkillers until a CT scan revealed the fracture, as well as an undetected medial condylar fracture.
- Surgical intervention ultimately addressed both fractures, leading to successful rehabilitation; emphasizing the need for thorough imaging and assessment to avoid overlooking additional injuries.
