- Abstract:
Case Presentation: An otherwise healthy 17-year-old male patient presented to a periphery hospital with a compound fracture of the right distal tibia and fibula after a traumatic accident on a ski trip. He was treated empirically with IV cefazolin before undergoing open reduction with internal fixation with intramedullary nail for surgical fixation. Postoperatively, he became febrile, tachypneic, and hypoxemic, requiring up to 6 L/min supplemental oxygen by nasal prongs. He reported mild chest discomfort but denied productive cough, hemoptysis, or calf tenderness. Because of nonresolving oxygen demands, on postoperative day (POD) 4, he was transferred to a tertiary care center for further management.
