“…Although some of the current studies have shown that wellcontrolled anticoagulation is not associated with the risk of spinal epidural haematoma (Awad et al, 2005), some studies have shown that the use of therapeutic doses of heparin is associated with a better risk of bleeding complications (Glotzbecker et al, 1976). However, some studies have also shown that the use of therapeutic doses of heparin results in a better risk of bleeding complications in patients undergoing spinal surgery.…”

“…Following surgically treated spinal injuries, the risk of epidural haematoma is low but the consequences are extremely harmful. Although some studies have concluded that well-controlled anticoagulation is not associated with an increased risk of postoperative spinal epidural haematoma (Awad et al, 2005). However, there is still insufficient evidence on the safety of postoperative chemoprophylaxis for patients who have undergone spinal surgery.…”

Deep vein thrombosis is a common clinical peripheral vascular disease that occurs frequently in orthopaedic patients and may lead to pulmonary embolism (PE) if the thrombus is dislodged. pulmonary embolism can be prevented by placing an inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) to intercept the dislodged thrombus. Thus, IVCFs play an important role in orthopaedics. However, the occurrence of complications after inferior vena cava filter placement, particularly recurrent thromboembolism, makes it necessary to carefully assess the risk-benefit of filter placement. There is no accepted statement as to whether IVCF should be placed in orthopaedic patients. Based on the problems currently displayed in the use of IVCFs, an ideal IVCF is proposed that does not affect the vessel wall and haemodynamics and intercepts thrombi well. The biodegradable filters that currently exist come close to the description of an ideal filter that can reduce the occurrence of various complications. Currently available biodegradable IVCFs consist of various organic polymeric materials. Biodegradable metals have shown good performance in making biodegradable IVCFs. However, among the available experimental studies on degradable filters, there are no experimental studies on filters made of degradable metals. This article reviews the use of IVCFs in orthopaedics, the current status of filters and the progress of research into biodegradable vena cava filters and suggests possible future developments based on the published literature by an electronic search of PubMed and Medline databases for articles related to IVCFs searchable by October 2022 and a manual search for citations to relevant studies.
