Abstract

Introduction: Depressed fractures of the femoral condyle are less common and are axial or rotational injuries. Distal shaft femoral fractures are usually a result of either high energy or low energy trauma.
Case presentation: A 38-year-old male fractured his femoral condyle and presented into clinic later complaining of a pain in the lateral knee region. Radiography showed depressed femoral condyle fractures that were not accompanied with either joint effusion or dislocation. Post conservative approach overcome accelerated rehabilitation program that encompasses full range of motions led to desirable surgical outcomes.
Conclusion: The minimally displaced condylar fractures received a rest approach guided by active rehabilitation rendered the dissolve impossible due to anaesthetic induction applicable for these types of patients. The systems of preparing detailed plans enabled achieving efficient passing these systems and their capturing aide.
