Abstract
The addition of a femoral fracture to a pelvic or acetabular injury, the so-called floating hip, is a devastating injury which has an important impact on patients' quality of life, going beyond that experienced by patients with isolated injuries. Nevertheless, our results did not reflect statistically significant differences in the quality of life among the three groups analyzed: isolated fractures, floating hip and floating hip resulting in amputation.
