Major orthopedic knee surgery places the vascular and hematologic systems under significant stress, precipitating Virchow's triad through local endothelial trauma, venous stasis from intraoperative tourniquet use or postoperative immobility, and systemic, surgery-induced hypercoagulability Without adequate thromboprophylaxis, this prothrombotic state can lead to the formation of blood clots within the deep veins of the lower extremities—predominantly the calf, popliteal, and femoral veins—which ...

Without adequate thromboprophylaxis, this prothrombotic state can lead to the formation of blood clots within the deep veins of the lower extremities—predominantly the calf, popliteal, and femoral veins—which carry a substantial risk of propagating, causing severe chronic post-thrombotic syndrome, or embolizing to cause life-threatening pulmonary embolism

Prophylaxis in this setting serves as a critical post-surgical safety indication to prevent both asymptomatic and symptomatic venous thromboembolic events
