Abstract
Patients with malignant tumors in the lower extremity or pelvis, particularly those with a history of cerebrovascular disease and surgery in a prone position, were at high risk of venous thromboembolism. Patients with benign tumors in the lower extremity or pelvis were at intermediate risk. This is important information for predicting the incidence of postoperative venous thromboembolism and determining who should receive chemoprophylaxis after surgery for musculoskeletal tumors.
