Insufficiency fractures of the medial femoral condyle We report six cases of insufficiency fractures of the medial femoral condyle responsible for severe mechanical pain in the medial knee compartment in the absence of any identifiable precipitating factor.
Abstract. Subchondral insufficiency fractures are non-traumatic fractures that occur immediately below the cartilage of a joint. Although low bone density may be present concurrently, it is not the underlying cause of subchondral insufficiency fractures in the majority of patients.
What is a fracture of the femoral condyle? A femoral condyle is the ball-shape located at the end of the femur (thigh bone). There are two condyles on each leg known as the medial and lateral femoral condyles. If there is a fracture (break) in part of the condyle, this is known as a fracture of the femoral condyle.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
4-
The femoral condyles are located on the end of the thigh bone, or the femur. They are covered by articular cartilage and function as a shock absorber for the knee.
Medical Definition of medial condyle : a condyle on the inner side of the lower extremity of the femur also : a corresponding eminence on the upper part of the tibia that articulates with the medial condyle of the femur — compare lateral condyle.

Distal Femur (Thighbone) Fractures of the Knee. A fracture is a broken bone. Fractures of the thighbone that occur just above the knee joint are called distal femur fractures. The distal femur is where the bone flares out like an upside-down funnel. The distal femur is the area of the leg just above the knee joint.

Medial Femoral Condyle Fracture Study Results Their fractures were fixated using screws and most patients made a full recovery in a few months. The average time for a complete union of the fracture was around 4.5 months. Most patients did not suffer any loss of function, including mobility loss, in the injured limb.
This normally takes between 6 to 8 weeks but can be up to 14 weeks. During this time, weight-bearing through the injured side can be gradually increased from non-weight-bearing to toe-touch weight bearing to partial weight-bearing, as pain allows.
Femoral medial condyle fracture is a rare fracture. As with any articular injury, anatomical restoration of the joint surface must be obtained, then lag screw fixation is required. In fractures with a vertical fracture line, a buttress plate is necessary to counteract the vertical shear forces.
Bony healing typically takes 6 weeks to complete; therefore, a soft diet may be necessary for 1 to 2 months in the absence of other fixation methods to prevent jaw displacement while the fracture is healing.

We report six cases of insufficiency fractures of the medial femoral condyle responsible for severe mechanical pain in the medial knee compartment in the absence of any identifiable precipitating factor. Suggestive changes were seen on initial roentgenograms in only one case, whereas increased radionuclide uptake was a consistent finding on the bone scan. The diagnosis was established only by magnetic resonance imaging in five cases. All six patients were women and four were older than 75 years. Two patients had a history of osteoporotic fractures, one had laboratory test evidence of osteomalacia and one had recurrent insufficiency fractures mistakenly ascribed for several years to migratory transient osteoporosis. Bone density was subnormal in five of the six patients. Rest and standard analgesics consistently ensured a favorable outcome within three to four weeks. To our knowledge there have been no previous reports of stress fractures of the medial femoral condyle. These lesions may be underdiagnosed since they are easily mistaken for primary osteonecrosis in the absence of magnetic resonance imaging. Primary osteonecrosis of the femoral condyle shares several features with insufficiency fractures, including predominance in elderly women with factors responsible for mechanical stress (varum, obesity, trivial trauma), mechanical pain, and increased radionuclide uptake. Because some cases of primary osteonecrosis may be secondary to undiagnosed stress-related microfractures, early diagnosis and elimination of weight bearing are essential.
