Am I at risk for fat embolism during the whole lengthening of just in the beginning?
I thought it was just a risk for fat embolism in like the first week or so, but when Dr.Giotikas talked about a previous patient of his who had a fat embolism and died, he said it happened around 7 weeks after the surgery.
How is this possible?
But Xeralto medication is for the blood clot thing no? Not for fat embolism? Or am I wrong?
Yes I heard that too but I just dont understand how a fat embolism can happen after 7 weeks.
Lets say the fact that it can still happen after 7 weeks makes me more scared to do this surgery than before I knew it.

"While blood clots are far more likely to cause pulmonary embolism, fat embolisms can still cause pulmonary embolisms, too (which are life-threatening medical emergencies). Fat embolism syndrome also causes problems with breathing even when it doesn't cause a pulmonary embolism"
yes Xarelto is for blood clotting, making sure it clots doesnt go up ur bloodstream and into your lungs causing death. and it MUST be taken for like almost 4-5 months EVERY DAY post surgery. Stuff costs like $546 fora 30 day supply, but there are coupons online to buy it for $10. DM me how
Ok so even if a fat embolism can cause a pulmonary embolism, the Xarelto in itself is only for the Pulmonary embolism and not for the fat embolism?
So I just do the surgery and hope for the best in regards of fat embolism? I cannot do anything to reduce my chances of that?
Quote from: thankscience on April 14, 2023, 11:35:43 AMFat embolism syndrome is really only a risk up to 72 hours after surgery. Pulmonary embolism is slightly different and you are at greatest risk 2 weeks after the surgery, though there is an enhanced risk up to about 3 months after surgery. Every day the risk becomes less and less. Not all doctors prescribe blood thinners for the full lengthening period, particularly if the nail is weight-bearing as it is expected you are less likely to have a clot if you are moving around.

Quote from: Hagane on April 14, 2023, 09:54:14 PMdo you have the source that says it was a fat embolism?
if you listen to the cyborg interview with dr giotkas he says pulmonary embolism
Oh I must have heard wrong then, so the embolism the Dr is talking about was the pulmonary embolism? His patient did not die from Fat embolism?
after 7 weeks?
The technique that Dr Paley uses to avoid fat embolism, the special way that he drills holes in the bones for the fat or something that reduces the risk for fat embolism, is this technique only used by him or is it something well known that all Doctors use?
