Pediatric floating elbow in the setting of flexion type-supracondylar fracture is exceptional. Most reported cases in the literature include the more common variant of supracondylar fracture which is the extension type. We report a rare case of pediatric floating elbow associating flexion type supracondylar fracture with both bone forearm fracture and ulnar nerve irritation.
