Simultaneous ACL Reconstruction and Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Lateral Femoral Condyle Impaction Fractures: A Case Report.

CASE: Lateral femoral condyle impaction fractures (LFC-IF) are known to occur in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. We present 3 cases of combined LFC-IF and ACL tears treated simultaneously with osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation and ACL reconstruction, respectively. The first patient is a 45-year-old man who sustained an LFC-IF with concomitant ACL, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and lateral meniscus tears. The second and third patients are 38-year-old and 40-year-old men who both sustained LFC-IFs and lateral meniscus tears.

CONCLUSION

These are the first reported cases of LFC-IF and ACL tears treated successfully with simultaneous OCA transplantation and ACL reconstruction.
