Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for VTEs after HTO based on patient demographics, medical comorbidities, operative valuables, and clinical results. A total of 137 patients were assessed VTEs using ultrasonography at 1 week after HTO. The risk factors for postoperative VTEs were to assessed. The incidence of VTEs after HTO was 25.5%. Postoperative single leg standing test was independent predictors of VTEs after HTO. The incidence of VTEs after HTO is relatively high and Postoperative knee function is important for preventing VTEs after HTO. Ⅱ, Prospective comparative study.
