Pediatric lateral Busch-Hoffa fracture associated with lateral meniscus tear and incarcerated popliteus tendon: systematic review of literature and case report
Although rare, pediatric Busch-Hoffa fractures must not be overlooked. Existing literature is sparse and consists primarily of case reports. Given the high risk of instability and non-union, surgical fixation remains the preferred treatment. Our case contributes to existing literature by presenting a unique combination of Busch-Hoffa fracture with significant soft tissue involvement, underscoring the role of arthroscopy in assessing and managing concomitant injuries.
