ABSTRACT
A 14-year-old male patient was successfully treated with the reamer irrigator aspirator for femur intramedullary rod preparation after sustaining right and left closed femur fractures because of an all-terrain vehicle accident. In patients already categorized as high risk for fat embolism syndrome, such as those with bilateral femur fractures, reaming both femora greatly increases the likelihood of this complication. The reamer irrigator aspirator provides an effective tool that potentially mitigates the risk of fat embolism syndrome in pediatric patients with this type of orthopedic trauma.
