An Epidemiological Profile and Management of Floating Knee at the Traumatology and Orthopedics Department (Section A) of Hassan II Hospital, Fez/Morocco | Chapter 3 | Current Innovations in Disease and Health Research Vol. 1

 Present study climaxes the epidemiological profile and administration of floating knee at the traumatology and Orthopedics area (section A) of Hassan II Hospital, Fez/Morocco. The buoyant knee is an union of ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures first expressed by BLAKE and MCBRYDE in 1974. The study retrospectively reviewed the cases of 32 inmates who were conducted between January 2009 and November 2018. We only included subjects with a buoyant knee. Staging and indexing two together used Frazer's classification. Open fractures were judged preoperatively for severity of accompanying injuries utilizing the Injury Severity Score and the Cauchoix-Duparc classification. Functional outcomes were determined use the Karlstrom and Olerud criteria. Young alive adults were ultimate affected accompanying a mean age of 28 years and a clear male predominance (90.62%). Road accidents were the main cause (93.75%).According to Fraser's categorization, 68.75% of cases were type I, type IIa (15.62 %), type IIb (9.37%) and type IIc (6.25%). Seventeen patients met with IM nailing of both leg part and tibia fractures. Four patients (12.5%) seen ORIF with DCP leg part plate; 3 patients (9.37%) experienced condylar plate bridging of the femur; inasmuch as 2 patients (6.25%) withstood ORIF of tibia accompanying DCP plate and 2 patients (6.25%) with T-buttress plate of the tibial land. The advent of various modes of transport accompanying the growth of the automobile manufacturing and especially the disobedience with the highway safety regulations are chiefly to blame for the surge attack traffic accidents. In Morocco, RTA’s are the main etiology of buoyant knees.The floating knee is a condition namely slowly extended over our side of the world and generally affects young, active family. Most typically, transmission-clinical disease is used. A skilled integrative team bear carry out administration because it is operational.
