Venous Thromboprophylaxis in Spine Surgery

Study Design: Review article. Objective: A review of the literature on postoperative initiation of thrombophylactic agents following spine surgery. Methods: A review of the literature and synthesis of the data to provide an update on venous thromboprophylaxis following spine surgery. Results: Postoperative regimens of venous thromboprophylaxis measures following spine surgery remain a controversial issue. Recommendations regarding mechanical versus chemical prophylaxis vary greatly among institutions. Conclusion: Postoperative spine surgery initiation of thromboprophylaxis remains controversial regarding optimal timing and agent selection. The benefits of deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism prophylaxis must be weighed against the possible postoperative complications associated with spine surgery.

The risks of thromboembolism following operative treatment of ankle fractures are deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). These are potentially life-threatening complications. Many orthopedic surgeons fail to appreciate the potential complications of thromboembolic events because of their rare and delayed occurrence in foot and ankle operations. The purpose of this report is to describe the potential for DVT and PE following ankle operations. We present three cases in which patients who underwent operative treatment of ankle fractures subsequently developed PE. We also review the literature on the prevalence of thrombosis, risk factors, methods of prophylaxis, and use of prophylaxis in surgical procedures of the lower extremity.

Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are two clinical entities of single diseases causes venous thromboembolism. VTE is an important causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and treatment of VTE in pregnant women are much more difcult than in non pregnant women. To date numerous studies have evaluated the risk factor and treatment of VTE during pregnancy. In this review we aim to summarise recent literature published within the past few years
