Abstract
Floating knee injury is described as the simultaneous ipsilateral disruption of skeletal integrity above and below the knee. It is usually associated with high-energy impact and often a part of polytrauma. Management of associated life-threatening injuries should take precedence over the orthopedic injury. The soft tissue trauma to the limb is significant and it is prudent to be wary. Each fracture in a floating knee injury is unique and treatment should be decided based on individual analysis and the extent of soft-tissue injuries. A combination of multiple fractures might influence the choice of treatment in complex cases.
