Floating Hip, Eleven Cases and Literature Review

Floating hip refers to concomitant fracture of the acetabulum, pelvis, and femur. we report the cases, our approach, as well as short-term results from 2008 to 2016. there were a total of 11 cases. the most prevalent pelvis fracture type were tile type c and the most acetabulum fractures were both column fracture. the most femoral side fractures were per-throchantrric fractures (head, neck, intertrochanteric fracture). in most cases, fixation started from the pelvis, acetabulum, and then the femur. there were 5 complications (45%) (1 dvt, 2 nonunion, and 2 avn). there were 3 cases, which end to tha in the follow up period. it seems this combination of fractures needs special attention.
