“…However, many researchers failed to differentiate specific fracture sites [ 14 , 15 ]. Studies showed that the incidence of DVT at each anatomic location of the fracture varies greatly [ 7 , 11 ]. The results demonstrated that the incidence rate of DVT in isolated patella fractures was 4.1%.…”

“…However, studies on the incidence of DVT in patients with isolated fractures of the lower extremities are limited. Minimal studies have focused on the thromboembolic events in femoral shaft fracture [ 6 ], tibia fracture [ 7 ], ankle fracture [ 8 ], and calcaneal fracture [ 9 ]. However, two researchers studied the incidence of DVT in isolated patella fractures [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…However, many researchers failed to differentiate speci c fracture sites, [14,15] other few studies found the incidence of DVT at each anatomic location of the fracture varies greatly. [7,11] In our research, the result showed the incidence rate of DVT in isolated patella fractures was 4.1%. Jared A et al [10] studied the incidence rate of postoperative VET (venous thromboembolism) in patients with lower extremity trauma from 2008 to 2016 in the United States, the results showed that the incidence rate of DVT in patients with patella fractures over the study was 0.6% and ranged from 0.0-1.5%, but the speci c locating of the DVTs was not mentioned in his study.…”

“…[5] However, studies on the incidence of DVT in patients with isolated fractures of the lower extremity are limited. And just few studies focused on the thromboembolic events in femoral shaft fracture, [6] tibia fracture, [7] ankle fractures, [8] and calcaneal fractures. [9] To our knowledge, so far just two researches studied the incidence of DVT in isolated patella fractures.…”

“…Many risk factors are found to be associated with VTE after ankle surgery. Auer et al found that age was the most prevalent risk factor for VTE after orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery, followed by hypertension,4 while another study conducted by Huntley et al pointed out multiple risk factors associated with ankle surgery associated VTE such as female gender, increasing age, obesity, inpatient status and non-elective surgery 5. The elements which generally increase the risk of VTE include the degree of immobilisation and casting, proximity to the knee (operation closer to the knee is at higher risk) and type of surgery (eg, Achilles tendon rupture has a higher risk).…”
