Abstract
Bilateral floating knee is defined as bilateral fractures of the femur and tibia. It is a serious and extremely rare entity. The aim of our work was to monitor and evaluate the functional outcome of patients who presented with bilateral floating knee.
This was a prospective study of 3 patients admitted and treated surgically between August 2008 and May 2023 at the TOBC.
All patients underwent functional assessment using the Kalrstrom and Olerud scores. None of the patients had joint stiffness or deformity. However, a shortening of 1.5 cm was observed in one patient. Resumption of activity was observed in all patients after 12 months of follow-up.
Our study included 3 cases of patients with floating knees treated surgically with excellent functional results.
