Background: Accomplish a thorough review on the existing biomechanical and clinical studies about coronal plane fractures of the distal femur. Methods: We performed an electronic search of PubMed/MEDLINE database from April to June, 2023. The terms for the database search included “Hoffa fractures,” OR “Busch-Hoffa fractures” OR “coronal plane fractures of the distal femur.” Results: The search identified 277 potentially eligible studies. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 113 articles were analyzed in terms of the most important topics related to coronal plane fractures of the distal femur. Conclusion: Lateral coronal plane fractures of the distal femur are more frequent than medial, present a more vertical fracture line, and usually concentrate on the weight bearing zone of the condyle. The Letenneur system is the most used classification method for this fracture pattern. Posterior-to-anterior fixation using isolated lag screws (for osteochondral fragments—Letenneur type 2) or associated with a posterior buttressing plate (when the fracture pattern is amenable for plate fixation—Letenneur types 1 and 3) is biomechanically more efficient than anterior-to-posterior fixation. Anterior-to-posterior fixation using lag screws complemented or not by a plate remains a widely used treatment option due to the surgeons’ familiarity with the anterior approaches and lower risk of iatrogenic neurovascular injuries. There is no consensus in the literature regarding diameter and number of screws for fixation of coronal plane fractures of the distal femur.

Aim of this study was to explore the experienced coping strategies by patients with an ectopic pregnancy in order to ameliorate the quality of treatment. This is a qualitative study based on a phenomenological tradition in which data were collected through semi-structured and in-depth phenomenological interviews with twenty-five married women, experienced ectopic pregnancy. Data were analyzed through an interpretative phenomenological analysis. “Life-saving endeavor” was the main theme that emerged from the participants’ experiences. It refers to a set of strategies used by women to cope with Ectopic Pregnancy. Life-saving endeavor consists of four subthemes, that is ‘submission to destiny’, ‘the blue sky after the storm’, ‘karma; the world’s supervisor’ and ‘setting foot on earth’. The results of this study reveal that women with ectopic pregnancy have implemented various strategies to cope with this complication of pregnancy, based on their life worldviews and beliefs. However, only those women who had a realistic angle to the disease were able to adapt to life again. As a result, accurate identification of these strategies and real comprehension of their life experiences by medical care providers, and applying positive experiences including a realistic attitude promotion to the other patients are recommended.
