Comparative StudyComparison of functional outcomes among subtypes of Fraser's type Ⅱ floating knee.
The poor prognosis in patients with floating knee injuries is mainly contributed to articular involvement (Fraser's type Ⅱ). This study aims to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes among different Fraser's type Ⅱ floating knee injuries after surgical management. ⋯ The results of this study show that patients with Fraser's type ⅡA fractures had a better functional outcome as compared to those with type ⅡB and ⅡC fractures. This might be due to the open intra-articular involvement of the distal femur of the latter two fracture types.
