Fat embolism and femoral internals

Edit Post

Hello everyone, from what I understood to work by choosing the option INTERNAL FEMORIES and maybe with STRYDE would be the best choice if it were not for the risk of FAT EMBOLISM .. I would like to know what brings this possible complication, if there are subjects most at risk of others and if it is somehow avoidable like "metilprednisolone" or bring the percentage of this complication to the lowest percentages .. thanks to all

so this risk based on what you say should be almost nil with STRYDE as this nail allows a greater support on the legs and therefore to walk first avoiding the atrophy of the muscles and consequently the fat embolism, right?

Betznail and Guichetnail are already full weight bearing. Fat embolism is a risk but not that high. external however has other risks. So there is no perfect method.

what emerges from the Stryde update compared to the other nails is that it allows a support for each leg sufficient so that you can start walking first, the first patient operated by Paley (the one who conceived it) after a month walked already without 'aid of crutches while in the first weeks used only the latter without ever the help of a walker .. obviously the lengthening period should always be spent where you work but you want to compare this walking and recover the walk immediately instead of a wheelchair to 3 months? I would say that it is an innovation. I'd be curious about how your stretching will be going on.
