“…30 A number of classic risk factors for DVT have been identified. 8,29,31 A previous VTE provided the highest OR in our study, and this is supported by other studies which have addressed DVT after TKR. 32,33 Another powerful risk factor for DVT after TAR was a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m 2 , which is also the case in patients undergoing THR or TKR.…”

“…This is consistent with findings in studies of THR and TKR, 38,41 although some reports have linked advanced age with an increased incidence of DVT after THR and TKR. 40,41 Although smoking has been identified as a possible risk factor for DVT in univariate analysis, 8 it has not been reported as an independent risk factor. 42 Anaesthetic technique is an important variable in the aetiology of post-operative DVT in elective orthopaedic surgery.…”

“…Although DVT is discussed as a complication following TAR, 7 there are few reports on its incidence after surgery of the foot and ankle, 8,9 particularly TAR (Table I). 4,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Our aim was to determine the post-operative incidence and site of symptomatic DVTs, and to identify the risk factors for DVT in patients undergoing TAR.…”

The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of post-operative symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), as well as the risk factors for and location of DVT, in 665 patients (701 ankles) who underwent primary total ankle replacement. All patients received low-molecular-weight heparin prophylaxis. A total of 26 patients (3.9%, 26 ankles) had a symptomatic DVT, diagnosed by experienced radiologists using colour Doppler ultrasound. Most thrombi (22 patients, 84.6%) were localised distally in the operated limb. Using a logistic multiple regression model we identified obesity, a previous venous thromboembolic event and the absence of full post-operative weight-bearing as independent risk factors for developing a symptomatic DVT. The incidence of symptomatic DVT after total ankle replacement and use of low-molecular-weight heparin is comparable with that in patients undergoing total knee or hip replacement.

“…Inherited conditions include the following: factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A, antithrombin deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, anticardiolipin antibody syndrome, and dysfibrinogenemia. 5 Venous clots originate in the cusps of the valves in veins and may form in the superficial or deep venous system. These thrombi grow and extend to occlude the lumen of the vein and promote an inflammatory reaction.…”

Significant patient morbidity and mortality is associated with the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following orthopedic surgery. The majority of the literature supports proper prophylaxis following major orthopedic surgery involving hip and knee procedures. Foot and ankle surgery, however, is starkly contrasted because of the lack of recommendations. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the risk factors and incidence of VTE in foot and ankle surgery while also outlining the newest literature guidelines for prophylaxis.
