Abstract

The authors report a case of coronal fracture of the medial femoral condyle that subsequently developed into malunion. The patient presented with symptoms of knee pain and contracture eight weeks after a motor bicycle accident. The malunion fragment involved most of the medial femoral condyle articular surface. Afer treatment by osteotomy, stable internal fixation and early mobilization were achieved and the malunion healed.
