Floating elbow, a severe limb injury, requires prompt surgical intervention. Minimally invasive pinning is preferred over casting to prevent complications like compartment syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Traumatology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Floating elbow involves simultaneous humerus and forearm fractures in a single limb.
  • High-energy trauma (falls, accidents) is the typical cause, often with soft tissue damage and potential neurovascular compromise.

Observation:

  • Presents two pediatric cases of floating elbow treated at the clinic.
  • Details varying functional outcomes following treatment.

Findings:

  • Minimally invasive percutaneous pinning is recommended as the preferred operative treatment.
  • Early surgical intervention is crucial to avoid complications such as compartment syndrome, which can arise from circular casting.

Implications:
