Abstract Background Fat Embolism is a complication of long bone fractures intramedullary fixation and joint arthroplasty. It may progress to fat embolism syndrome which is rare but involves significant morbidity and can occasionally be fatal. Fat Embolism can be detected at the time of embolization by transoesophageal echocardiography or atrial blood sampling. Later a combination of clinical signs and symptoms will point towards fat embolism but there is no specific test to confirm the diagnosis. We investigated serum Interleukin-6 IL-6 as a possible early marker for fat embolism. Methods An animal study was conducted to simulate a hip replacement in 3l adult male Sprague Dawley rats. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and the animals divided into 3 groups control uncemented and cemented. Following surgery and recovery from anaesthesia the rats allowed to freely mobilize in their cages. Blood was taken before surgery and at 6 .
