AB Orthopedic  surgery  is  associated  with  high  incidences  of  deep  venous  thrombosis  and  pulmonary  embolism.The  need  for  anticoagulation  results  in  anesthesia  issues  specifically  related  to  the  potential  for  neuroaxial  hematomas.Unique  complications  in  orthopedic  surgery  are  related  to  tourniquet  use  and  fat  embolism.Regional  anesthesia  is  associated  with  lower  morbidity  and  mortality  than  is  general  anesthesia.Prone  spinal  surgery  cases  have  unique  complications  related  to  patient  positioning,  such  as  nerve  injuries,  ventilation  problems,  and  blindness.
