Abstract
After a high-energy trauma, a 37-year-old motorcyclist presented to the emergency ward with a Hoffa fracture of the lateral femoral condyle of the right knee. Following admission, the patient developed a pale, cold and pulseless right foot. CT angiography scan showed a 5 cm dissection of the popliteal artery. Emergency arterial reconstruction was performed and the Hoffa fracture was repaired in a second stage. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with a Hoffa fracture accompanied by a popliteal artery dissection.
