Abstract: Aim: To analyse the radiological and functional outcomes of patients after surgical treatment of hoffa fractures of femoral condyle using CC screws. Materials and method: In this prospective study 15 cases were included which were treated with CC screws. Active knee mobilization exercises were started immediately on post operative day 1. Partial weight bearing started on 4-6 weeks progressed to full weight bearing after 12 weeks. Final results were assessed by Letteneur standards. Results were graded as excellent, good, general and poor. Conclusion: based on our observation Hoffa fracture fixation by 2 or more CC screws is viable option.

Keywords: Hoffa's fracture, CC screw, Letteneur standard
