Abstract
Floating elbow is a very uncommon injury in the paediatric age group as it involves a high energy trauma to
the affected limb. Isolated humerus fracture without involving the forearm axis, forearm fractures without involving the
humerus are very common injury in a paediatric age group. Our study was to assess the functional outcome of floating
elbow injuries in paediatric age group managed by various treatment techniques. In view of this varied complicated
presentation management options varies, hence choosing the best management option needs a stronger study for
management of floating elbow in paediatric age group.
