Plate-augmented fixation of comminuted Letenneur type II Hoffa fractures provides favorable stability compared to isolated posteroanterior screw fixation – a biomechanical study
Plate-augmented posteroanterior screw fixation of comminuted Letenneur type IIb Hoffa fractures provided greater biomechanical stability than isolated posteroanterior screw fixation. While additional lateral or double plate fixation improves the stability of both the intercalary and Hoffa fragment, posterior plating stabilized only the Hoffa fragment.
