Description: Authors: Peter B. Rauh, FRCS, Matthew C. Solan, FRCS, and Riyaz H. Jinnah, M.D. Orthopaedic patients undergoing lower limb surgery are recognized as a group at especially high risk of DVT/PE. Prevention is therefore of great importance. Treatment of established DVT or PE is beyond the scope of this text. This chapter will consider prophylactic measures only.
