Introduction
[edit | edit source]
The term ‘floating’ has been used quite vaguely in the literature to describe various injury patterns /surgical procedures and even congenital anomalies. When the term is used to describe an injury pattern, it commonly implies that a joint/bone has lost its continuity at adjacent ends either as a result of fractures, fracture dislocations or pure disloca-tions and hence has become ‘floating’ [1]
