We present a rare case of open lateral condyle Hoffa's fracture with concurrent patellar intra-articular dislocation, quadriceps rupture and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion. The early adolescent male sustained these injuries in a road traffic accident. Diagnostic evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach guided treatment decisions. The patient underwent single-stage open reduction and internal fixation for the lateral condyle Hoffa's fracture and quadriceps tendon repair, while conservative management was chosen for the PCL avulsion. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient exhibited improved knee function.This case underscores the management of complex knee injuries and contributes to understanding unique injury patterns, enhancing patient care.
