Fat embolization syndrome is a well-known complication associated with total hip arthroplasty. It is believed to be caused by high intramedullary pressures that occur during cement pressurization and femoral stem placement. Fat embolization syndrome has also been reported with intramedullary reaming and placement of an intramedullary alignment guide during total knee arthroplasty. To our knowledge, there have not been previous reports of fatal fat emboli as a result of uncemented hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this case report is to describe a fatality due to fat embolization following a noncemented bipolar arthroplasty.
脂肪栓塞综合征是全髋关节置换术的一种常见并发症。据信它是由骨水泥加压和股骨柄植入过程中出现的高髓内压力引起的。全膝关节置换术中进行髓内扩髓和放置髓内对线导向器时也有脂肪栓塞综合征的报道。据我们所知，此前尚无因非骨水泥型髋关节置换术导致致命脂肪栓子的报道。本病例报告的目的是描述一例非骨水泥型双极人工关节置换术后因脂肪栓塞导致的死亡病例。
