The Hoffa fracture of the distal femur is a rare injury described as a coronal fracture of the femur involving one or both of the condyles. The distal, condylar end of the femur has a trapezoid shaped anatomy and articulates with both the tibial plateau and the patella.

The coronal fractures as a special form of hamate’s body fracture are very rare injuries. Because of unspecific clinical findings and the mostly inconclusive x-ray imaging, these fractures are frequently overseen or misdiagnosed.

#8 exhibiting a complicated coronal fracture, root canal treatment and bonding of the coronal segment. Horizontal root fractures of #8 and #9; the maxillary right central remained vital while the maxillary left central developed pulp necrosis requiring nonsurgical and surgical root canal treatment; prognosis favorable.

Oct 1, 2022 · The incidence of coronal fractures was 32% and 67% in AO/OTA types 33-C and 33-C3, respectively. Our findings suggest that coronal fractures differed between both types, emphasizing the potential need for different treatment approaches.

Oct 2, 2014 · The purpose of this article is to provide a review of coronal fractures of the femoral condyles, known as Hoffa fractures. This includes a review of the normal anatomy of the femoral condyles, examples of the injury, and postoperative imaging findings after surgical treatments.

Coronal tooth fracture increases cuspal flexure under occlusal load and weakens the tooth. This decreases the stiffness of the tooth. Hence, a temporary restoration should protect a tooth from further deterioration during endodontic treatment.

Type A2 is a coronal split or pincer fracture involving both endplates without involvement of the posterior wall of the vertebral body. A-type injuries are in general a failure of anterior structures under compression with intact tension band.

Sep 15, 2021 · CT three-dimensional reconstruction can better identify coronal femoral intertrochanteric fractures than X-ray films, and accurately recognize and analyze the incidence and morphological characteristics of coronal fractures, which can help formulate more effective surgical strategies to promote pati …

Jun 30, 2017 · The study included 9 patients (5 males, 4 females) with tooth coronal fracture. In all the cases, the fractured fragment was available and intact and there were not macroscopic losses of dental tissue at the tooth-fragment interface.

Background: Hoffa fractures are coronal-plane fractures of the femoral condyle, which are rarer than sagittal-plane condylar fractures. This study aimed to systematically review the clinical knowledge base of Hoffa fractures to facilitate the diagnosis and management of such injuries.
