Corrective Osteotomy for Coronal Plane Malunion of the Medial Femoral Condyle

Medial femoral condyle malunion in the coronal plane is a very rare injury. In this presented case, we performed intra-articular corrective osteotomy for a malunited medial femoral condyle in the coronal plane of a 22-year-old man and obtained good functional and radiographic results.

Sumario:Medial femoral condyle malunion in the coronal plane is a very rare injury. In this presented case, we performed intra-articular corrective osteotomy for a malunited medial femoral condyle in the coronal plane of a 22-year-old man and obtained good functional and radiographic results. Corrective osteotomy for a malunited medial Hoffa fracture is technically very challenging, but intra-articular corrective osteotomy for these malunited fractures offers a good outcome and should be considered as a salvage treatment.
