Fat embolism (FE) is a classically taught complication of long bone fractures, with the potential to cause high morbidity and mortality; however, it is rarely apparent on emergency department (ED) presentation or imaging. If recognized by the ED clinician, development of symptoms of FE may be avoided by early surgical fixation and potentially by corticosteroid administration.
脂肪栓塞（FE）是长骨骨折一种经典的并发症，有可能导致高发病率和死亡率；然而，在急诊科（ED）就诊或影像学检查时却很少表现明显。如果急诊科医生能够识别，通过早期手术固定以及可能使用皮质类固醇，可以避免脂肪栓塞症状的出现。
