Description
Antonios Kouzelis and five co-authors report a rare injury: breaks of the inner thigh bone knob in both knees of one man. Such breaks, called Hoffa fractures, are hard to spot, and they most often hit the outer knob. The sixty-five-year-old man was hurt in a crush injury. Two surgical teams fixed both knees at the same time, and he healed well over three months of follow-up.
The paper also reviews past reports to weigh how such breaks happen, how to find them, and how to treat them. The authors say this is the first such case fixed with surgery with a good result.
