Incidence of venous thromboembolism following achilles tendon rupture. Data from the UK foot and ankle thrombo-embolism (UK-FATE) audit
After ATR, patients are 6.5-times more likely to experience symptomatic VTE than those recovering from surgery for other foot and ankle pathology. There was no significant difference in symptomatic VTE rate after ATR with specific chemical prophylaxis or early mobilisation strategies.
