I'm not talking about people who have been in accidents and where the same technology has been used, as that's quite a different situation to the sort of controlled osteotomies used for cosmetic LL; but has there actually been any actual amputations?

I know it's theoretically possible with infection, but I can't find a case of someone it has happened to.

Never heard of such a case, but there are several deaths all related to embolism.

[AnotherLLer]

And embolism is all related to intramedullary nails isn't it? Does it have the same chance between fully internal nails and LON/LATN?

Have there been cases of embolism with external only method?

fat embolism is related to intramedullary nails but not pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism can happen with all LL. No difference b/w LON/LATN/Internal in this regard.

Is that fat embolism deaths or from pulmonary? Because I don’t think I’ve heard of any fat embolism deaths besides close calls.

I remember reading about such case somewhere but I don't remember where.
