Abstract
Bicondylar Hoffa fracture involving both the femoral condyles is a rare injury. Conjoint variety with intact bone bridge between condyles in intercondylar notch area is even rare. We report a conjoint variety of bicondylar open grade III A Hoffa's fracture with patella entrapped in the fracture with quadriceps rupture in an adult which was surgically treated with initial debridement and later open reduction with fixation and quadriceps repair. The final outcome at 1 year post injury is satisfactory. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported till date in English literature.Entities:
