ABSTRACT
Venous thromboembolism has been identified as the leading cause of preventable death in hospitalized patients. The pulmonary embolism is considered the 3rd leading cause of death after trauma in patients who survive more than 24 hours and the sequels of those who stayed hospitalized are pulmonary hypertension, chronic venous insufficiency and post-thrombotic syndrome represents a higher cost. Unlike the incidence of events that happen in major orthopedic surgery (total or partial prosthetic hip and knee) difficult start prophylaxis, occurs in patients with a fracture or multiple injuries, hence to know the exact time of onset and duration of drug therapy alone or combinated with mechanical methods. It is necessary to make a scale of risk factors based on the diversity of events experienced by the patient. Therefore, we must make three successful strategies to minimize or avoid the risk of thromboembolism in patients with fracture(s); first, knowledge of the disease and its causes both acquired as hereditary, anticoagulants and their effective application and safety, and use diagnostic aids resources to avoid complications. The orthopedic surgeon requires complete knowledge and experience in treatment, knowing the Clinical Practice Guide for Venous Thrombosis, and know at what point have the support of several specialists in benefit of the patient.
