Abstract
Although isolated epiphyseal trauma of the tibia and the femur have been described in the literature, the combination of these two injuries is extremely rare. We report on the management of a case of simultaneous ipsilateral epiphyseal injuries to the distal femur and proximal tibia, the paediatric floating knee.
