Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Perioperative acute pulmonary embolism is a rare complication; however, it can be very serious and devastating sometimes. The incidence is higher in major orthopedic procedures like hip fracture repair, hip hemiarthroplasty and knee replacement/ arthroplasty. Here, we report a case of trauma presented with right acetabulum fracture planned for open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), who suffered pulmonary embolism intraoperatively with thrombolysis done in trauma and managed effectively.
