Background:Ipsilateral fractures of the humerus and the forearm represent a rare injury resulting from highenergy trauma and known as Floating Elbow. The objective of this report is to present our experience, analyze outcomes and determine the impact that some injury- or treatment-related factors had on outcomes. Methods:Eighteen adult patients (15 males) with a mean age of 41.2 years, who had floating elbow and who had been treated between 1994 and 2010 and followed for over 1 year, were retrospectively studied. Cases were divided according to the authors' classification, and variables with a potential impact on final outcomes were identified. There were 7 associated injuries in the involved extremity (39%).All fractures had been treated by reduction and osteosynthesis. Patients were evaluated using the Shoulder Score Index (ASES), theVisualAnalogue Scale (VAS) and the SF-36 form. The mean follow-up was 6.7 years. Results: The average ASES score was 87.5; pain score on VAS was 1. The SF-36 showed an average physical factor of 46.8 and mental factor of 60.1. Five complications occurred (27.8%): 3 humeral pseudoarthrosis and 2 infections. No statistically significant relation was found between results and bone exposure, kind of floating elbow, associated injuries or osteosynthesis method
