Abstract
Floating hip injuries and ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare. Additionally, the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries is extremely rare, and only one case report of the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries has been published. Here, we report the case of a patient with ipsilateral acetabular and femoral neck and shaft fractures following a suicide attempt. The patient experienced nonunion of the femoral neck and shaft after the initial operation and therefore underwent reconstruction using a femoral head prosthesis with a long stem and interlocking screws. Our procedure may be used in primary and/or secondary reconstruction for ipsilateral acetabular and femoral neck and shaft fractures.
Highlights
Floating hip injury and ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare and result from high-energy trauma, especially multiple trauma [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

The patient was successfully treated with reconstruction using a femoral head prosthesis with a long stem and interlocking screws after nonunion of the femoral neck and shaft following two operations
Summary
Floating hip injury and ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare and result from high-energy trauma, especially multiple trauma [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. The simultaneous occurrence of these injuries is extremely rare, and only one case report of the simultaneous occurrence of these injuries has been published [8]. We report the case of a patient with ipsilateral acetabular and femoral neck and shaft fractures following a suicide attempt
