@entity7123 was assessed at necropsy and correlated with clinical findings in the @entity1 who died among 854 with @entity173 admitted to hospital between 1967 and August 1971. Sixteen cases of clinical importance were found, eight of which were judged to have been fatal or to have seriously contributed to death. Frequencies were as follows: 2.4 to 3.3% among 424 @entity1 with @entity174 ; 0.7 to 0.8% in the 405 with trochanteric @entity174 ; 4.1 to 7% among subjects treated without operation, representing 30% of those who died within seven days; and 0.9 to 1.1% among @entity1 treated by pinning, nailing, or nail-plating. The higher frequency in the conservatively treated group is probably related to selection of poor-risk subjects. @entity7123 was found in 6.8 to 8.0% of those with @entity174 treated by primary @entity57457 which utilizes acrylic cement, and in none of those given Moore's prostheses for which cement is not used. Study of a larger group after Moore's prosthesis is required to establish its lack of special risk. @entity7123 accounted for all the deaths within seven days of @entity57457 and for most within 14 days; it was clearly related to surgery in some cases.A possible explanation of the hazard of @entity57457 is that fat globule entry is enhanced by a rise of intramedullary pressure due to proximal occlusion of the reamed marrow cavity. A controlled trial of the effect of venting the marrow cavity on the frequency of fat @entity887 is warranted. It is possible that the acrylic monomer may also contribute to venous entry of medullary fat. The higher-age group of those with @entity174 and associated chronic @entity299 might make them more susceptible to fat embolization than those in whom arthroplasty is also carried out for chronic @entity572 .
