Saddle Embolism after Corrective Femoral Osteotomy: A Case Report

Abstract

We present a case of recurrent saddle embolism 6 days and 9 days following corrective osteotomy of the left femur in a 64-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation. Although saddle embolism is a relatively rare event, orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of this condition.
