title: Fracture of the lateral femoral condyle.
abstract: The patient was a 25-year-old man who was currently enrolled in a military basic-training program. He was evaluated by a physical therapist in a direct-access capacity for a chief complaint of right knee pain and swelling after his knee buckled and gave way during a training exercise on an obstacle course. The patient was evaluated by the physical therapist 2 days after his injury. Because the patient was unable to bear weight on his right lower extremity or flex his right knee to 90°, the physical therapist ordered radiographs of the right knee, which demonstrated a fracture of the lateral femoral condyle posteriorly.
