Does it make sense to use Vena cava filter for the prevention of fat embolism? I am planning to ask about this to the doc but I am not sure if they'll agree to put it or not.

There has been some research on this topic that it can prevent fat embolism https://sjtrem.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13049-021-00906-1

Thanks, Victor.
