Zusammenfassung:	The floating elbow in the child is rare and serious. The authors report a traumatic case of floating elbow without vascular and nervous lesions associated in a 6-year-old child. We treated these both fractures of the distal forearm and the supracondylar humeral by respectively cast plaster and a collar and cuff with an anatomical reduction. The radiological and clinical results were excellent with the 29 months follow-up.
