[Possibilities of the x-ray diagnosis of posttraumatic fat embolism].
The paper is concerned with some data, obtained during a study of case histories and x-ray findings of 12 (0.1%) of 9260 patients treated over the last 10 years in a traumatology department at a regional hospital for various traumas. Posttraumatic oil embolism was diagnosed in these 12 patients during their life. Of them 2 patients were women, and 10 men aged 20 to 74, and 7 patients were under 30. Five patients died. Open fracture was registered in 4 patients, closed fracture--in 7 patients, and contusion of the soft tissues--in one. Two cases were presented as an example. A conclusion was made of a possibility of the effective diagnosis and treatment of this severe posttraumatic complication at a provincial hospital.
