Background: Simultaneous ipsilateral floating knee and hip is a very rare injury and so far, no standard guideline has been determined for its treatment.
Case Report:In the current study, we report a surgical technique for the treatment of a 17-year-old patient with this condition on his left side.
Conclusion: We recommend to start the fixation from proximal and stabilize the pelvic ring at first, then fix the posterior part of the acetabulum and femoral shaft with the same posterior approach.
