    Author: Badenhorst OA, Badenhorst CH.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1986 Aug 02; 70(3):172-3. PubMed ID: 3738647.
    Abstract:
    A patient with fulminant fat embolism syndrome (FES) after a closed fracture of the tibia and fibula is described. Life-threatening FES developed unexpectedly within 9 hours. Patients should be warned about this possibility if they are discharged from hospital early. Those not within reach of adequate care may be better observed in hospital.
