Purpose The routine use of thromboprophylaxis during cast immobilisation for lower leg
trauma is controversial. The concern involves the perceived increased risk of deep vein …

Background Thromboprophylaxis for patients with non-surgical isolated lower-limb trauma
requiring immobilization is a matter of debate. Our aim was to develop and validate a clinical …

Lower-limb immobilization has been implicated as an etiological factor for venous
thromboembolic events (VTEs). However, there is no patient-centered scoring system …

Background From the available evidence, the risk of venous thrombosis in patients with
below‐knee cast immobilization remains unclear. Objectives To estimate the risk of venous …

BACKGROUND: The thrombogenic burden of immobilization remains unknown especially in
the medical setting. Most of epidemiological studies estimating the link between risk factors …

Objectives: To determine the incidence and risk factors for symptomatic venous
thromboembolism (VTE) in adults who are discharged from the ED with rigid immobilization …

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 Patients with lower-limb trauma requiring immobilization have an increased risk
of venous thromboembolism (VTE). While thromboprophylaxis for all patients seems not …

Purpose To assess the efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) venous
thromboprophylaxis in patients with transient reduced mobility in the non-major orthopaedic …

Background Patients undergoing major amputation of the lower limb are at increased risk of
venous thromboembolism (VTE). Risk factors for VTE in amputees include advanced age …
