Coronal fractures of the medial femoral condyle are very rare, and there is a highly likelihood of these fractures being missed by an average orthopaedic surgeon. A high index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis especially in cases of undisplaced fractures. Being intra-articular, the ideal management includes open reduction and internal fixation. Medial or antero-medial approach with antero-posterior screws is the preferred method for fixation. Dhillon MS, Mootha AK, Bali K, Prabhakar S, Dhatt SS, Kumar V. Musculoskelet Surg. 2011 Sep 9.
