ReviewCoronal fractures of the medial femoral condyle: a series of 6 cases and review of literature.
Isolated coronal fracture of medial femoral condyle with intact lateral femoral condyle is extremely rare. We present our experience with such 6 cases of coronal fractures of medial femoral condyle. We reviewed all case records of cases of coronal fractures of femoral condyle which presented to our centre from Jan 2000 to Jun 2009. ⋯ A high index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis especially in cases of undisplaced fractures. Being intra-articular, the ideal management includes open reduction and internal fixation. Medial or antero-medial approach with antero-posterior screws is the preferred method for fixation.
