“…However, beyond this general risk factor, we also identified risk factors that are likely more specific to the ankle fracture population such as IDDM that have not been identified for other orthopaedic procedures [8]. Dependent functional status also contributed to the risk of severe adverse events in patients with ankle fracture, which we speculate may be related to difficulty with postoperative mobilization, a previously identified risk factor for thromboembolic events after ankle fracture [9,11,18,21]. The risks associated with each of these patient and operative factors now can be more specifically discussed with patients preoperatively.…”

“…The reported incidence of thromboembolic events in patients with ankle fracture is 3%, involving pulmonary embolism in 0.3% (Soohoo et al 2011, Pelet et al 2012. Patients with certain risk factors (older age, obesity, history of smoking, prolonged use of a tourniquet, non-weight bearing, immobilization, history of a previous thromboembolic event, pregnancy, hormonal replacement therapy, paralysis, neoplasia) appear to be at higher risk for thromboembolic events (Soohoo et al 2011, Kadous et al 2012, Pelet et al 2012, and prophylaxis should be considered for these patients (Testroote et al 2008, Kadous et al 2012, Yi et al 2014). …”

“…Por lo antes mencionado, su eficacia farmacológica en cirugías de tobillo y pie es cuestionable. 10,20,32 Además del aumento del costo del tratamiento desde el uso rutinario de estos fármacos, también existen posibles efectos secundarios importantes, como accidentes cerebrovasculares, problemas en la cicatrización y aumento de la tasa de infección y sangrado. Según un reciente metanálisis de Martel y cols., el síndrome de trombocitopenia inducida por heparina también es una posible complicación con un riesgo absoluto en la cirugía ortopédica del 0,2% para la heparina de bajo peso molecular y del 2,6% para la heparina no fraccionada.…”

“…En septiembre de 2004, el ACCP elaboró un consenso para las terapias antitrombóticas. Sobre la base de la evidencia, el ACCP considera aceptables los protocolos que utilizan heparina de bajo peso molecular en el posoperatorio, y determinó que el uso rutinario de la ecografía venosa como herramienta de diagnóstico para las enfermedades tromboembólicas venosas en el momento del alta hospitalaria (en pacientes asintomáticos) era innecesario [19][20][21]. En la bibliografía científica, está bien documentada la incidencia de tromboembolismo en cirugías ortopédicas mayores, como las de rodilla y cadera, pero encontramos pocos artículos que informen sobre tromboembolismo en cirugías de tobillo y pie.…”
