Introduction and An Analysis of Inter- and Intra-observer Validity to the Classification of Hoffa-Like Tibial Plateau Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The posterior coronal shearing fractures of the tibial plateau are rare and can be easily missed or ignored. Our team defined these fractures as Hoffa-like fracture of the tibial plateau and conducted a series of studies. The aim of this study is to introduce the characteristics of the Hoffa-like fracture of the tibial plateau, propose a new classification system and evaluate its validity.

Methods

Sixty-one patients with Hoffa-like fractures of the tibial plateau were treated in five trauma centers (I-III) from 2017 to 2020. A new classification system was developed based on the morphological fracture patterns in CT and radiographic of the first 30 cases. Ten cases of suspected tibial plateau Hoffa-like fractures were supplemented additionally to the 61 cases to in
