Abstract
|
|
|
|
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are serious and fatal complications in orthopedic surgery. Most cases of symptomatic pulmonary embolism in knee surgery have been reported after total knee arthroplasty, but rarely after patella fracture. We report on a case of symptomatic pulmonary embolism after surgical treatment of a patella fracture in a 42-year-old female patient.
