What is Ortho Risk Final 151204 about?

The document discusses the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following major orthopedic surgery and discharge. It notes that guidelines recommend thromboprophylaxis for at least 10 days but the risk persists after discharge, especially for hip replacement or fracture surgery. Improved risk assessment could help identify patients that may benefit from extended thromboprophylaxis to reduce VTE burden.
