Title: Prevention of Deep Venous Thrombosis after Internal Fixation of Lower Limb Fractures
Abstract: Objective To summarize the experience of using low molecular weight heparin sodium combined with air pressure treatment to prevent the form of deep venous thrombosis after the internal fixation of lower limb fractures.Methods From July 2006 to June 2010,postoperative subcutaneous injections of low molecular weight heparin sodium combined with intermittent pneumatic compression were put on 776 cases with bone fractures of the lower limbs(including 427 cases with femoral fractures and 349 cases with tibial fractures),to prevent the form of deep vein thrombosis.Meanwhile,color doppler flow imaging examination of postoperative deep veins of lower limb were carried out with follow-up visits on these cases to observe if there was any bleeding complication.Results There were no postoperative wound massive hemorrhage and hemorrhagic complications occurred.Only 5 cases were found lower limbs diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis in recent checking.There were no pulmonary embolism occurred and no new cases of deep vein thrombosis happened in the following 2 ~ 3 months after the operation.Conclusion The treatment of low molecular weight heparin sodium combined with air pressure can prevent the form of deep venous thrombosis after the internal fixation of lower limb fractures with satisfactory effects.
