a, b Case number 11: AP and lateral plain X-ray views showing C3-type distal right femur fracture. c The related 3-D reconstruction anteroposterior CT scan. d The axial CT scan: distal cut showing medial Hoffa fracture (white arrow). The fracture was fixed by a lateral locked condylar plate, a medial contoured reconstruction plate, and a countersunk screw for the medial Hoffa fracture. e, f AP and lateral views 1 year after surgery, showing good union. The patient regained about 120° of knee flexion without any extensor lag
