Abstract
PULMONARY fat embolism is a well-recognized complication of major orthopedic surgery Most cases occur intraoperatively during pressurization and manipulation of long-bone intramedullary canals Embolic events that occur in the postoperative period may be insidious, with their clinical sequelae evolving progressively. We report an unusual case of acute, massive pulmonary fat embolism that occurred in the early postoperative period.
