Dyspnea is a hallmark of fat embolism syndrome due to impaired oxygen exchange.

Increased pain at the incision site can signal both acute compartment syndrome (due to increased pressure) and infection (due to local inflammation).

Tingling sensation to the right foot is a sign of nerve compression related to compartment syndrome.

Swelling at the incision site is consistent with both compartment syndrome (due to tissue pressure) and infection (due to inflammation).
