Open lateral femoral condyle fracture concomitant with a vertical patella fracture in an adolescent: A case report

We present the rare case of an open femoral condyle fracture (Gustilla IIIA) combined with a vertical patella fracture due to sharp injury after a traffic collision in a 17-year-old female. During subsequent operation, a locking compression plate was used for definitive fixation of the distal femur...

description We present the rare case of an open femoral condyle fracture (Gustilla IIIA) combined with a vertical patella fracture due to sharp injury after a traffic collision in a 17-year-old female. During subsequent operation, a locking compression plate was used for definitive fixation of the distal femur and the patella was reduced and fixated with two screws. Four months after surgery, the patient had practically full range of motion again and no secondary complications occurred. On control X-ray, there was consolidation of the fracture.
