摘要：

The authors report a case of a Hoffa fracture of the lateral femoral condyle that subsequently went on to nonunion in an eight-year-old child. The child presented with symptoms of knee pain and snapping five years after a motor vehicle accident. The nonunion fragment involved most of the lateral femoral condylar articular surface but spared the physis. After treatment by open reduction and limited internal fixation, the nonunion has healed, and the child has virtually full range of motion of the knee and no evidence of growth disturbance.
