Sumario:Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare complication associated with long bone fractures. Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for treating patients with these injuries and early surgical intervention can prevent FES. However, there is a paucity of data on managing these patients once FES has developed. The purpose of this study is to present 3 unique cases of polytrauma patients with long bone fractures who underwent fixation with Taylor Spatial Frame, open reduction and internal fixation, or submuscular plating for treatment of these injuries. All 3 patients had complete cognitive and physical recovery.
