Femoral Fracture Following Acute Trauma in a Female Collegiate Swimmer.
The patient was a 20-year-old Division I female collegiate swimmer who presented to the athletic training room following a traumatic onset of right knee pain. She was immediately transferred to the hospital for diagnostic imaging. Knee radiographs revealed a minimally displaced fracture of her right distal femur that extended from her intercondylar notch to the lateral aspect of her distal femoral metaphysis, while computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed the intra-articular nature of the fracture.
