Why some many people getting surgery for broken legs and other bodily injuries, come out afterwards with a Traumatic Brain Injury?

This is the first I’ve really heard of it but I was reading a post on askreddit about things a person would take back if they could, and a surprising number of the answers were “i would’ve not gone into my leg surgery, because afterwards I woke up 15 days later with a TBI and ill never be the same”.

This kinda scared the shit out of me; and I just wanted to know if there’s and actual noticeable risk, or what causes it?

It’s pretty rare, but there can be problems from anesthesia that leave someone brain damaged. My cousin had surgery and came out of the surgery blind (surgery unrelated to his eyes). Anesthesia actually has the potential to be very dangerous but we typically have no problems because the anesthesiologist is very skilled.
