Abstract:
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious complication of fractures. The incidence of ankle fracture which occurs most frequently intra-articular is 200/100 000, about 3.9%of all fractures. Domestic and foreign reports of ankle fractures and DVT were allocated and analyzed to review their correlation. Furthermore, different methods of rou-tined thromboprophylaxis was discussed. DVT incident after ankle fractures and the necessity of routined thromboprophy-laxis were reviewed. DVT incidence after ankle fractures was low and routine thromboprophylaxis was not necessary to all ankle fracture patients except the ones who had risk factors of thrombosis which could induce DVT.
