This is the first report of fat embolism syndrome after bilateral total knee arthroplasty with the total condylar prosthesis. Cementing techniques and increased systemic monomer may play a role in the etiology of this syndrome. It is reasonable to suppose that fat embolism syndrome often occurs after total knee arthroplasty in an occult form.
