The risk of death from venous thromboembolism (VTE) is high in intensive care unit patients
with neurological diagnoses. This is due to an increased risk of venous stasis secondary to …

High energy fractures of the pelvis are a challenging problem both in the immediate post-
injury phase and later when definitive fixation is undertaken. No single management …

BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are common life-threatening
complications after trauma, but epidemiology and reported risk factors still vary. The purpose …

Background and purpose Pharmacological prophylaxis can reduce the risk of deep venous
thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and death, and it is recommended 10–35 days …

This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
in patients with pelvic and acetabular fractures. Patients with pelvic or acetabular fractures …

BACKGROUND Injury leads to dramatic disturbances in coagulation with increased risk of
bleeding followed by a hypercoagulable state. A comprehensive assessment of these …

Background: Patients with traumatic injuries possess a high risk of developing deep venous
thrombosis (DVT), thus the need for appropriate prophylaxis. Patients with head injuries …

Background: This study was performed to evaluate functional and radiological results of
pelvic ring fractures treatment by open reduction and internal fixation. Methods: Thirty eight …
