- Abstract:
- Patients presenting with proximal femur fractures are at high risk of developing DVT and pulmonary embolism. Many of these patients suffer from additional anticoagulant treatment. Patients on anticoagulation treatment are complex to manage, especially regarding timing of surgery due to implemented quality control recommendations. The present review analyses the present data timing of surgery and perioperative surgical considerations on anticoagulation treatment in this patients group.
