    <abstract locale="en_US">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.</abstract>
