Abstract :

Floating knee injuries (ipsilateral fractures of the femur and tibia) are always due to high energy trauma. These injuries are associated with other injuries (bony and soft tissue). During the initial period of injury, clinically patients can present from haemodynamically stable to haemodynamically unstable scenario. Significant papers have been published regarding the management of these floating knee injuries. However; the available classifications do not answer the key questions pertaining to the management of injury per se and their associated injuries. Author has proposed a new classification for these groups of injuries and assessing in the management plan based on the present available classifications.
