    AbstractThe combination of elbow dislocation and perilunate dislocation is rare. The prognosis of this condition depends mainly on that of the wrist. While some cases of floating forearm have been reported, no bilateral affection has -of yet- to our knowledge, been published. The authors report a case of a young patient who presented with bilateral floating forearm after a fall from a height. The treatment was surgical at the wrist. The functional result is similar to cases reported in the literature.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
