ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare the functional outcomes between floating knee injuries with open femur and tibia fractures and closed floating knee injuries.

Methods:

Floating knee injuries (followed up and treated in our clinic) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups floating knee injuries with open femur and tibia fractures (Group 1) and floating knee injuries with closed femur and tibia fractures (Group 2). Patients were compared according to their demographic characteristics and clinical and functional outcomes.

Results:

Of 52 study patients, 28 had Group 1 injuries and 24, Group 2 injuries. We found a statistically significant difference in length of hospital stay between the two groups (p = 0.01) and a statistically significant difference in Karlström-Olerud functional scores between the groups (p = 0.02). We found osteomyelitis in five (17%) patients in Group 1 and in one (4%) patient in Group 2.

Conclusion:

Patients with floating knee injuries and open fractures showed poorer outcomes than those with closed fractures. Those with open floating knee injuries show complications more often and longer hospital stays. Level of Evidence III, Therapeutic Studies Investigating the Results of Treatment.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Comparar os resultados funcionais entre lesões do tipo joelho flutuante com fraturas expostas de fêmur e tíbia e lesões de joelho flutuante fechadas.

Métodos:

As lesões de joelho flutuante acompanhadas e tratadas em nossa clínica foram analisadas retrospectivamente. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos lesões de joelho flutuante com fraturas expostas de fêmur e tíbia (Grupo 1) e lesões de joelho flutuante com fraturas fechadas de fêmur e tíbia (Grupo 2). Os pacientes foram comparados de acordo com as características demográficas e os desfechos clínicos e funcionais.

Resultados:

Entre os 52 pacientes do estudo, 28 tiveram lesões do Grupo 1 e 24 do Grupo 2. A diferença no tempo de internação entre os dois grupos foi estatisticamente significativa (p = 0,01). Também houve diferença estatisticamente significativa nos escores funcionais de Karlström e Olerud entre os grupos (p = 0,02). Osteomielite foi identificada em 5 (17%) pacientes do Grupo 1 e em 1 (4%) paciente do Grupo 2.

Conclusão:

Comparados aos pacientes com lesões de joelho flutuante com fraturas fechadas, aqueles com fraturas expostas têm piores resultados, uma vez que as complicações são mais comuns e a permanência hospitalar é mais longa nestes casos.
