Abstract
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint surrounded by strong and well-balanced muscles that allow for a wide range of motion in many physical planes. Iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral are the three major ligaments of the hip joint that provide stability to the joint. Supracondylar femoral fractures are common in old age and can be caused in young people due to accidents or traumatic causes. These types of fractures are complicated to fix surgically due to different architectural designs. If not treated appropriately, these can cause malunion or non-union of the joint. The knee joint is a synovial joint of the hinge type. It has two major degrees of movement, which are flexion and extension. However, rotation in both the medial and lateral directions is possible to some extent in the joint. Patellar fractures can be transverse, vertical, comminuted, marginal, or osteochondral. In this case report, we present a 43-year-old male patient who had a history of falling from a bike. He was diagnosed with a comminuted supracondylar fracture of the left femur and a comminuted fracture of the patella on the left side on an X-ray. For this, he was managed with open reduction, internal fixation, and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC). Physiotherapy rehabilitation was programmed to attain a good and fast recovery for the patient to make him functionally independent and improve his quality of life.
