Abstract
Historically, the risks for DVT in total joints have been emphasized, yet based on our results, the incidence of DVT is the same for orthopaedic trauma. However, the risk factors varied. It is therefore important to consider specialty-specific DVT prophylaxis for orthopaedic trauma patients in order to improve care and reduce postoperative complications.
