Is there any way to find the information about LL? for example, how many surgeries are performed every year, how many serious complication occurs, etc? feels like is really difficult to count and figure out the real % of the risks when it comes to LL.
I am just trying to understand how risky it is. Why? because I'm new to the topic and the information I can find on internet (e.g. this forum) are based on few topics with few witnesses. I have read that Dr. Paley had 2 fat embolisms in 10 years, but also that out of 37 (if I am not wrong) cases reported by patients, 2 of them had fat embolism, which means that the first information (2 in 10 years) may be wrong. 2 out of 37 is a HUGE chance to have it. Basically you expect to get it.
Also another example is, I have read that there is a complication (don't remember the term) that may lead to amputation. I have never read anywhere about any case of amputation, even googling. So how really likely to happen is it?
Would love to put together some numbers and try to really understand the risks. Something like "in US/Europe or whatever there are 2000 surgeries every year for LL or similar, 100 fat embolism occurred, 0 deaths, no amputation occurred etc"
this wold help a lot to understand how risky a specific surgery really is. If you have any study/link/source please share. Or share your opinion based on what you have been reading so far.
Thank you
