Surgery of any kind but most commonly from long bone fractures (like your thigh) or hip surgery but not limited to those types can cause an embolism. Sometimes someone who has A-fib (atrial fribulation) can throw a clot if the A-fib breaks and they go into another heart rhythm. Those 2 scenarios are both more likely, but we don't know why she was hospitalized ....I'm curious. Luci " If it's wet and not your's,dont touch it!
