| Core Tip |
As early as 1975, Blake and McBryde firstly used the term “floating knee (FK),” referring to ipsilateral fractures of the femur and tibia that disconnect the knee joint from the rest of the lower limb. The incidence of FK is likely to be infrequent. FK often induces severe life-threatening complications, such as head injury, intra-abdominal bleeding, vascular rupture, fat embolism syndrome, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and soft tissue injury. Treatment of FK is challenging. An urgent primary assessment and resuscitation followed by suitable and timely definitive treatment comprising systemic soft tissue and fracture considerations reduces the risk of complications. Simultaneous bilateral FK is extremely rare, constituting an unusual fracture pattern. No study has reported the exact incidence. In this study, we report a case of simultaneous bilateral FK, which included bilateral femoral, tibial, and fibular midshaft fractures caused by an electric motorcycle accident, and discuss its therapy process and associated complications. |
