Resumen
PEREZ RIVERA, Orlando Manuel y PALANCO DOMINGUEZ, Lourdes E.. Femoral condylar posterior fracture: Surgical treatment. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2009, vol.23, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.
Femoral distal fractures accounts for only the 6 % of all femoral ones. Authors present the case of a male patient aged 42 suffered a road accident provoking a unicondylar fracture of femur distal end in coronal plane , known as Hoffa fracture. Surgical treatment by radiological studies is showed, where we used a screw of AO system. Using this procedure we achieved the fracture reduction and stability. We conclude that an appropriate preoperative planning is necessary to get satisfactory results.
