Introduction: Intra-articular distal femoral fractures in the coronal plane, widely described as Hoffa fractures, are a rare entity. Lateral femoral condyles are mostly affected, while diagnosis can be challenging. Bilateral medial femoral condyle fractures are exceedingly scarce, with only one case being published in recent literature.
Case report: We present a case of a white 65-year-old man with bilateral medial femoral condyle Hoffa fractures caused by a crush injury. The patient was treated operatively by two different teams operating simultaneously on both sides, with good clinical and radiological outcomes after a follow-up period of 3 months.
Conclusion: A literature review was conducted to analyze the potential mechanism of injury, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic approach. Bilateral medial Hoffa fractures are rare injuries concerning the orthopedic trauma field and this is the first case described, that was treated operatively with good functional outcomes.
Keywords: Hoffa fractures; bilateral medial condyles; distal femur fractures; trauma.
