Although osteochondral fractures of the lateral femoral condyle are uncommon, fixation of the fragments is recommended, mostly when is about young athletes with such post-traumatic pathology. We present a case of a professional handball player teenager female, with a lateral femur condylar osteochondral fracture after a fall with the right knee in extension and in internal rotation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an osteochondral fracture of the lateral femoral condyle, 34.6 mm on long axis, impossible to manage arthroscopically, because of the size and the location of the detached fragment. The solution was the lateral knee arthrotomy allowing the evacuation of the hemarthrosis and preparation of the fracture site, then reduction and fixation of the fracture with absorbable cannulated pins. This procedure is of choice only when is enough bone in the detached fragment to permit the internal fixation and bone-to-bone healing with cartilaginous tissue stabilization through the fibro-cartilaginous rim that would seal the cartilage surface. Postoperative MRI proves that the fragment is settled in its hooked position with repairing of the articular congruity, so the recovery exercises program allow the regaining of the knee mobility with a restart of her sportive activity later.
