The incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament repair: A proposed thromboprophylaxis regimen
We demonstrated a 0% rate of clinically symptomatic VTE without complications such as delayed wound healing or major bleeding incidents. This is the only study proposing a combined regimen of both chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis after ACL reconstruction. Further research involving larger groups would be required to assess the effectiveness of this approach and to compare the effectiveness of mechanical and chemical thromboprophylaxis after ACL reconstruction.
