    Author: Myers R, Taljaard JJ.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Am; 1977 Oct; 59(7):878-80. PubMed ID: 908719.
    Abstract:
    In an analysis of the cases of 100 consecutive patients with diaphyseal fractures in the major bones of the lower limb, the incidence of fat embolism syndrome was 17 per cent. The blood alcohol level was determined at the time of admission. A raised level of alcohol in the blood was associated with a lower incidence of fat embolism.
