Approach to Manage Post-traumatic Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Associated with a Hoffa Fracture of the Medial Femoral Condyle: A Case Report

Abstract

We present our experience of managing a case of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction associated with a Hoffa fracture involving the medial femoral condyle (MFC). A 37-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital following a road traffic accident. The patient had a history of ACL reconstruction surgery done in the same 6 years previously in our hospital. Preoperative radiology suggested a Hoffa fracture involving the MFC. An magnetic resonance imaging suggested a full thickness tear of the reconstructed ACL and partial thickness tears of both the PCL and MCL. This case was managed with arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL with an ipsilateral peroneus longus autograft and fixation of the femoral condyle by a paramedial approach with cannulated cancellous screws.
