Prolonged coma after unreamed, locked nailing of femoral shaft fracture.
USING transesophageal echocardiography, echogenic material can be shown in the right ventricle during many orthopedic procedures. Recently, transcranial Doppler–recorded microembolic signals have been described during femoral fracture fixation, suggesting that medullary pressurization may be associated with systemic microembolism and pulmonary fat and marrow emboli.
