Abstract

Prevention of venous thromboembolism in orthopaedic and trauma surgery is one of the best-studied topics, with respect to which the most detailed recommendations and management protocols have been drawn up. It is also the fastest-developing area of the study of thrombotic conditions. The most recent reports make us continually modify our views and update the principles of its use.
These changes may be published by individual authors or by research teams appointed for this particular purpose by scientific societies. An example of such efforts was the appointment of a multidisciplinary group of specialists whose aim was to determine the current state of knowledge on the prevention of VTE and to propose recommendations on selected aspects of this topic. The group carried out its activities under the auspices of the Chair of the Polish Society of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeons and the Chair of the Polish Foundation Against Thrombosis. This paper presents the results of this team’s efforts.
