Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) in patients immobilized in plaster cast and the possible efficacy of prophylaxis with …

In an open, randomized, prospective, interindividual trial, the incidence of thrombosis with
(n= 126) and without (n= 127) LMWH prophylaxis once a day was determined in 253 …

Abstract 253 outpatients were included in a prospective randomized study. All patients had
incidences of injuries of the lower limb immobilized by a plaster cast. 126 patients (group I) …

Deep-vein thrombosis is common after plaster-cast immobilisation for traumatic injury. We
did a randomised prospective study of the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin on the …

The risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with lower limb immobilisation is
unclear, owing to of a lack of evidence from studies in this patient group. However, six small …

Discontinuation of thromboprophylaxis a few days after surgery may unmask delayed
hypercoagulability and contribute to late formation of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). To …

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of prolonged (35 days)
thromboprophylaxis with a standard length (7 days) regimen of a low molecular weight …

Background Guidelines and clinical practice vary considerably with respect to thrombosis
prophylaxis during plaster cast immobilization of the lower extremity. Identifying patients at …

The risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) is well documented in
patients following cast immobilisation for injuries of lower extremities. There are no generally …

Background: It is controversial whether the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in
patients with lower‐leg immobilization is necessary. Objectives: To assess the benefits and …
