Case Report: Floating Elbow with Posterior Shoulder Dislocation

Shoulder dislocations are the most common joint dislocations, and only 2% of these are seen as posterior shoulder dislocations. The fl oating elbow was fi rst described in children, after that shown in adults. Floating elbow cases are very rare, and usually seen with high-energy trauma. Classical defi nition is the coexistence of the humeral diaphyseal and forearm fracture, but there are other defi nitions as well.
