Hi!
I am wondering how long do you have to wait until you are out of the higher risk danger zone for getting fat embolism AND PE?
Fat embolism is like 2-3 days I’ve heard, but correct me if I’m wrong! What about PE?

End of the lengthening period. Lengthening damage blood vessels which can cause PE. Better to use low dose blood thinners till the end of lengthening.
The Spanish Dr who say my X rays yesterday told me that you can say you are out of danger from PE 3 months post surgery.

This is not true. Any ortho surgery has risk of PE for 3 months. It has nothing to do with lengthening period. Even if you stop lengthening at 3cm you are still at risk for PE for 3 months.

This is absolutely true. Lengthening causes blood vessel injuries which can cause blood clots.

Source?

Source about? Do you need a source that lengthening blood vessels cause damage to them or does damage to blood vessels cause blood clots? You can google it. It's common knowledge.

Source that lengthening can cause blood clots. "Damage" is a broad word. "Damage" from trauma is different from "damage" from tension of distraction. We need a source that what you say is true. How you say this common knowledge is beyond me.
Anyway, just so no one is misinformed, the risk of DVT exists for upto 3 months after surgery whether you are distracting or not. So you are in "danger zone" even if you stop lengthening at 3cm.
So 3 months post surgery not 3 months post distraction right ?
