Abstract
D-dimer can be used as a VTE screening tool in patients with fractures caused by high-energy injuries. Our results suggested that D-dimer analysis to predict VTE was useful in patients with a pelvic fracture or multiple fractures. Our results also suggested that it was less useful for predicting VTE in patients with an isolated lower extremity fracture.
