This article does not answer the question of how many days after surgery one is susceptible to get fat embolism and pulmonary embolism. Also it does not list any other long term complication of this other than death.

I hate how they don't list the things that could go wrong if you don't manage to die. After all, you have to live with the complications only if you manage to not die  Fat embolism and pulmonary embolism

QuoteRoughly 10 to 20 percent of people with the syndrome will not recover.


So these 10 to 20 percent die. Is that right?

QuoteSigns of FES generally appear 12 to 72 hours.


Not sure how that Indian Guichet patient died in his hotel room? Did Guichet not even let him stay in the hospital for 3 days after surgery?

Quote from: TemakiSushi on September 28, 2019, 01:06:25 PMPE could be caused by blood clots which may bother lungs days after surgery
Blood thinner should be prescribed but I don’t think Guichet prescribe it
If my memory is correct Paley prescribe blood thinner for a several weeks at least


The website said Guichet prescribed it. Paley now prescribes for only 2 weeks or less if you use Stryde. If Precice he prescribe it for even after lengthening period.

Can fat embolism lead to amputation or loss of limb? Death might be better than  this.
