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. ISSN 0864-215X.

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.

Palabras clave : Hoffa's fracture; femoral condyle; surgical treatment.
