Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The authors report four cases of fat embolism syndrome following total hip arthroplasty using cementless acetabular press-fit components and cemented press-fit femoral components. Factors implicated in the production of this syndrome following "hybrid" total hip arthroplasty include increased canal pressure during femoral reaming and prosthetic insertion, retained marrow elements and reaming debris, and the use of lumbar epidural anesthesia. This potentially fatal syndrome must be a recognized complication following the use of cemented press-fit femoral stems. Specific recommendations for decreasing the incidence of this complication are reviewed. |
