Abstract:
The isolated, tangential fracture of the dorsal part of the femoral condylus was first described by Friedrich Busch (1844-1916), a surgeon from Berlin in 1869, and not as always supposed by Albert Hoffa (1859-1907) in 1904. This is a case report describing a bilateral type B3-fracture of the distal femur (AO-fracture-classification) in a 58 year old man. Diagnostic, surgical procedure and outcome are described and discussed.
