Simultaneous ipsilateral floating hip and knee: the double floating extremity —a systematic review and proposal of a treatment algorithm

ConclusionThe exact treatment strategy and the follow-up time are not uniform across the included studies; therefore, they are not sufficient to adequately recommend surgical approach, timing of fixation, and fixation method. Our findings warrant the need for better documentation and reporting information about the mode of treatment of simultaneous floating hip and knee injuries.
