HistoryofThromboembolism
Patients with a history of thromboembolic disease are at a significant risk for a repeat thromboembolicevent.Ahospitalizedpatientwithahistoryofthromboembolicdiseasehasan almosteightfoldincreasedriskinacutethromboembolismcomparedtopatientswithoutsucha history. As a result, patients witha history of thromboembolic disease whoundergo major surgery or immobilization should be considered as being at a very high risk for repeat
https://t.me/medicina_free
thromboembolicdisease.
LowerExtremitySurgery
Orthopedicsurgeryofthelowerextremityshouldbeconsideredanimportantriskfactorinthe developmentofthromboembolicdisease.Withoutprophylaxis,DVTcandevelopinmorethan
50% of patients undergoing elective total joint replacement surgery.19 Similarly, more than 90%ofproximalthrombioccurontheipsilateralsideaftertotalhipreplacement,whichmay
be because of twisting and kinking of local veins as well as endothelial damage.3 As previouslydiscussed,lowerextremitysurgeryaffectsallcomponentsofVirchow’striad,and subsequentlycouldincreasetheincidenceofthromboembolicdisease.
LowerExtremityFractures
Fractures ofthehip, pelvis, andlong bones of the lower extremityare associated withthe development of thromboembolic disease. Patients with pelvic or lower extremity fractures wereshownbyvenographytohaveanoverallDVTincidenceof69%,withtheincidenceof
DVT after tibial fractures being as high as 77%.20 Postoperative immobilization or cast immobilizationmaycontributetothedevelopmentofthromboembolicdiseaseinpatientswith
lowerextremityfractures.

MultipleTraumaandGeneralSurgery
It has been shown that polytrauma patients are at a significantly increased risk for the developmentofthromboembolicdisease.Thisriskisparticularlyhighwhentheprimarysiteof injuryincludestheface,chest,orabdomen.Infact,theriskisashighas40%inthisgroupof
patients,21andwithoutprophylaxis,theriskofDVTexceeds50%.20Inpatientswithfootand ankletrauma,ahigherinjuryseverityscoreisassociatedwithahigherriskofDVT(oddsratio
[OR]1.22)andPE(OR1.21).7Abdominalsurgeriesthatrequiregeneral anesthesiagreater than30minutesalsoincreasestheriskofthromboembolicdisease,whichisoftennecessaryin
polytraumapatients.
21
PatientAge
Therisk ofthromboembolicdiseaseincreases exponentiallybetween theagesof 20 and80 years.22Eventhough40years is traditionallyused as thetransitionpointfor anage-related
increaseintheriskofthromboembolicdisease,theriskcontinuestoincreaseasapatientages andnearlydoubleswitheachsuccessivedecade.Olderagehasbeenshowntobesignificantly
associatedwiththedevelopmentofDVTandPEinpatientswithfootandankletrauma.
7,12
The
riskofthromboembolismislowforchildren,buttheriskincreasesincertainsituations,such asmultipletraumaandlowerextremityfracture.
3
Malignancy
Patientswithmalignancyareatanincreasedriskforthromboembolicdiseasebecauseofthe
https://t.me/medicina_free
hypercoagulablestatethatresultsfrommalignancy.Thehypercoagulablestateoccursbecause ofanincrease inprocoagulantactivity andareductioninfibrinolysis. Advancedpancreatic cancer, gynecologic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and brain
tumors are specifically associated with an increased risk.23 Chemotherapyalso has a toxic effect on the endothelium and may increase the risk of thrombus formation. Surgery for malignant disease results in a two- to threefold increase in the risk for thromboembolism
comparedtosurgeryfornonmalignantconditions.
3
Immobilization
It is well knownthat immobility increases therisk for the developmentofthromboembolic disease.Anautopsystudyshoweda15%incidenceofthrombosisinpatientsatbedrestfor
lessthan1weekcomparedto80%inpatientsatbedrestforgreaterthan1week.24Asaresult, earlymobilizationshouldbeanimportantgoalafterfootandankletraumaandsurgeryinorder topreventthromboembolicdisease. Immobilizationafter spinal cordinjuryandparalysis of
lowerextremitieshasanassociatedriskofthromboembolicdiseasethatapproaches40%.

Obesity
Infootandankletraumaandsurgery,obesityhasbeenshowntobeanimportantriskfactorfor thedevelopmentofthromboembolicdisease.
7,10
Infact,obesityhasbeenshowntosignificantly
increase the risk of symptomatic DVT (OR 2.35) and PE (OR 3.06) in a national trauma database.7Theetiologyofthisincreasedriskisunclear,butitmayberelatedtogeneralhealth
states,hyperestrogenicstates,orimmobility.
OralContraceptiveandEstrogenTherapy
Historically, oralcontraceptiveswere associatedwithanincreased riskforthromboembolic disease.Althoughestrogentherapymayincreasetheincidenceofthromboembolisminpatients with prostate cancer, estrogen therapy in women does not appear to increase the risk of
thromboembolicdisease.
25,26
HypercoagulableStates
Systemic hematologic abnormalities may predispose patients to the development of thromboembolic disease. For example, the presence of lupus anticoagulant; deficiencies in proteinS,C,andantithrombinIII;andfactorV Leidenareall showntoincrease theriskof
thromboembolism.3Theseabnormalitiesshouldbeconsideredinallpatientsundergoingfoot andanklesurgeryandthethromboembolicprophylaxisshouldbeadjustedaccordingly.
CLINICALPRESENTATIONANDDIAGNOSIS
ThesignsandsymptomsofDVTandPEarenonspecific.However,thesignsandsymptomsof DVTincludeswelling,pain,redness,superficialvenousdilatation,andHoman’ssign(painin
https://t.me/medicina_free
thecalforbehindthekneewithankledorsiflexion).Similarly,thesignsandsymptomsofPE includedyspnea,pleuriticchestpain,cough,hemoptysis,andtachycardia.27Sincethesesigns
areunreliableandnonspecific,screeningtestssuchasvenography,ultrasound,andcomputed tomography(CT)havebecomeincreasinglypopular.
Historically, contrastvenography is considered tobethe gold standard for detectingthe presence of DVTs.28 Venography of the lower extremity is performed by cannulation of a dorsalveininthefoot.
28–41
Thistesthasseverallimitationssinceitisexpensive,technically
demanding,invasive,andexposespatientstoradiation.42Asaresult,Dopplerultrasoundhas become the most commonly used modality to detect DVT formation and has essentially replacedvenographyintheclinicalsetting.Thistechniqueutilizesultrasoundtodepictflowin the venous system, and the advantages of this modality include lower cost and lack of radiation.In thehands ofanexperiencedtechnicianorradiologist,theoverallsensitivity of
ultrasoundindetectingDVTis85%andthespecificityis97%,42andthismethodhasaneven highersensitivityinsymptomaticpatientsforproximalDVT.
27
Historically, the goldstandardforthedetectionofPEwas pulmonaryangiography. This methodisinvasive,requiresexpertise,andhadsignificantmorbidity.Thistechniquewasthen replacedbyventilation-perfusionscintigraphyscanning,butthiswasdifficulttoadministerand the results were equivocal in many instances. In fact, this test is nondiagnostic in
approximately50%ofcasesandrequiresadditionaltesting.27SimilartothedetectionofDVT, alternative technologies have been developed and have become increasingly popular in determiningthepresenceofaPE.Themostcommonlyusedcontemporarymethodismultislice spiralCTofthechest,whichcanhelptodetectthepresenceofPEaswellasotherpathology insymptomaticpatients.
THROMBOEMBOLISMPROPHYLAXIS
The goal of a prophylactic regimen is to prevent the formation of a DVT, as well as the occurrence of a PE.Since the incidence of symptomatic PE is low,comparative studies of prophylacticregimenswouldhavetoincludethousandsofpatients.Asaresult,themajorityof studies have focused on the prevention of DVT. Several prophylactic regimens have been studiedinorthopedicsurgery,themajorityofwhichincludeintraoperativeandpostoperative modalities.Intraoperatively,thetypeofanesthesia(general,epidural,orhypotensiveepidural anesthesia) and the duration of surgery have been shown to affect the incidence of thromboembolic disease. Postoperative prophylaxis includes mechanical devices such as compression stockings and foot pumps, as well as pharmacologic prophylaxis such as
warfarin, aspirin, and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).43 Newer pharmacologic regimenssuchasrivaroxabananddabigatranarestartingtobeusedinorthopedicsurgery,and
areincreasinginpopularityastheyareadministeredorallyanddonotrequireanymonitoring.
3
Infootand anklesurgery,DVTprophylaxis is notconsistentlyusedby allsurgeons. In a recentstudyfromtheUnitedKingdom,onlyafifthofsurgeonsusedthromboprophylaxisafter
elective or trauma foot and ankle surgery.44 Similarly, Wolf and DiGiovanni found that
https://t.me/medicina_free
approximately44%ofsurgeonsusedDVTprophylaxisafterfootandankletraumasurgery.
45
Although practice patterns vary throughout the world, it is imperative that foot and ankle surgeonsunderstandthevariousmodalitiesthatareavailabletopreventtheformationofDVTs andlife-threateningPEs.
MechanicalProphylaxis
MechanicaldevicesandphysicalagentshavebeenusedforDVTprophylaxisafteravarietyof surgical procedures andtrauma.These devices increase fibrinolysis and decrease stasis by
acceleratingvenousemptying.3Earlymobilization,continuous passivemotionmachines,and graded compression stockingshave all beenproposed and studied. A compression boot or stocking canbe appliedtothenonoperativelegpreoperatively,andapplied totheoperative sidepostoperatively.Thesedevicesareusuallycontinueduntilthepatientisambulating,andin fact, sequential compression devices (SCDs) are the most commonly used prophylactic
modalityusedbyfootandanklesurgeons.
45
Severalstudieshavedemonstratedtheefficacyofmechanicaldevicesinreducingtherate ofDVTfollowingtotaljointarthroplasty.
16,20,23,28,33,34,36,37,41,46–63
TheincidenceofDVTwith
theuseofcalfandthighlengthdeviceshasbeenreportedtobebetween7.5%and33%after unilateral total knee arthroplasty.
54,64–69
 In a randomized prospective study comparing
compressionstockingstoaspirin,theincidenceofDVTwasreducedto22%withpneumatic compressionstockingscomparedto47%withaspirin.54Footpumpdeviceshavebeenshown tobeeffectiveintotalkneearthroplastyasDVTprophylaxis.70Thesedevicesincreasevenous circulation by applying a rapid increase in pressure to the plantar plexus.52 However,
proximitytotheoperativesiteaswellastheuseofapostoperativesplintorcastmaylimitthe useofafootpumpdeviceinfootandanklesurgery.
Overall,mechanicalprophylaxismodalitiesofferseveraladvantagesoverpharmacologic prophylaxis such as highpatient tolerance, no known risk of bleeding, andlow monitoring
requirements.3Thesedeviceshavebeenshowntobeefficaciousafterorthopedicsurgery,and continue to be a popular method of prophylaxis after foot and ankle surgery.45 In general,
newer impulse compression high-flow devices appear to be more efficacious than older, traditionalslow-flowSCD-typedevices.
PharmacologicProphylaxis
Severalpharmacologicprophylaxisregimenshavebeenstudiedinorthopedics.Traditionally, aspirin,heparin,andLMWHhavebeenusedandstudied,butmorerecently,factorXinhibitors andthrombininhibitorshavebeenstudiedaswell.LMWHcontinuestobeapopularagentfor DVT prophylaxis, and it has been specifically studied in the setting of foot and ankle
surgery.
18,45
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agentthat irreversibly inhibitsthecyclooxygenaseenzymeinplatelets,therebyinhibitingthesynthesisofthromboxane
A2,71whichcausesplateletaggregationandvasoconstriction.Theuseofaspirininorthopedic surgeryhas received mixedreviews. Itsadvantages includeeaseofuse,lowcost,and low
https://t.me/medicina_free
monitoringrequirements.However,itslimitationsincludeseveralmedicalcomplicationssuch asgastritis,gastriculcers,anduppergastrointestinalbleeding,aswellaslimitedefficacyafter
totaljointreplacementsurgeryandtrauma.3ArecentstudybyGriffithsetal.6showedthatthere was no protective effectof aspirin against VTEafter elective footandankle surgery. As a result, aspirin alone is not commonly used as a prophylactic regimen after foot and ankle surgery.
Warfarin (Coumadin) is another form of pharmacologic prophylaxis that has become increasingly popular in orthopedic surgery. Warfarin works by inhibiting the synthesis of vitaminK–dependentcoagulation factors (factors II, VII,IX, X, protein C). Since warfarin affects the synthesis of coagulation factors and does not affect activated factors, it takes
approximately24to72hourstobecometherapeutic.3Thedoseofwarfarinistitrateddailyto maintainaninternationalnormalizedratio(INR)of2.0to2.5.Thedisadvantagesofwarfarin includefrequentprothrombintimemonitoring,bleeding,and,lessfrequently,warfarin-induced skinnecrosis.Morespecifically,bleedingcomplicationshavebeenreportedin0%to4%of
patientsreceivingwarfarinprophylaxis.
72–74
Theadvantages ofwarfarinprophylaxisinclude itsoralformofadministration,andthefactthatitcanbecontinuedastreatment ifaDVTis detected.AlthoughwarfarinisaneffectiveagentinreducingtheincidenceofDVTaftertotal jointarthroplasty,itsefficacyhasnotbeenspecificallystudiedinfootandanklesurgery.Itmay by an effective strategy in high-risk patients, since it has been shown to be effective after orthopedic trauma. However,the risksand benefitsmustbecarefully assessed since notall polytrauma patients may be candidates for anticoagulation due to head or major organ
involvement.

LMWHs havebecome a popular form ofDVTprophylaxis inorthopedic surgery. These agentsweredevelopedinthe1970sandhavebeenshowntohavegoodantithromboticactivity. Whencomparedtoheparin,LMWHhaveless bleeding per unitofequivalent antithrombotic effect.LMWHsare thefractionatedform ofheparinandcontaina tetrasaccharidethatbinds antithrombinIII.Asaresult,thiscomplexcaninactivatecoagulationfactors(factorXagreater thanfactorIIa)andinhibitcoagulation. Theadvantages ofLMWHsincludefixed dailydose andlackofneedfordailymonitoringofpartialthromboplastintime.Itsdisadvantagesinclude itsinvasivemodeofadministration,sinceitisavailableasasubcutaneousinjection.Therisks ofLMWHincludebleedingandheparin-inducedthrombocytopenia.Majorbleedinghasbeen reportedin0%to2.8%ofpatients,andthefrequencyofbleedingcomplicationswithLMWH
is greater than that associated withwarfarin.75 In a recent study by Barg et al.,10 3.9% of patientsundergoingtotalanklereplacementandtreatedwithLMWHdevelopedasymptomatic DVT.ThisrateiscomparabletotheratesofDVTaftertotalkneeorhiparthroplasty.
Newer pharmacologic prophylaxis regimens include factor X inhibitors such as rivaroxabananddirectthrombininhibitorssuchasdabigatran.Rivaroxabanhasbeenstudied in total hip and knee arthroplasty, and compared to LMWH, rivaroxaban demonstrated superioritywithregardstoprimaryefficacyoutcome,thepreventionofVTE,andsecondary efficacyoutcome,thepreventionofmajorVTE.Therewerenosignificantdifferencesseenin bleedingriskbetweenrivaroxabanandLMWH,withmajorbleedingseenin0.3%to1.3%of
patientsreceivingdailydosesof10mgorless.
28,29,47,72,76
Ontheotherhand, dabigatranisa
https://t.me/medicina_free
prodrug with a half-life of approximately 12 to 17 hours that also does not require daily monitoring.Inamulticenterdouble-blindedrandomizedstudycomparingdabigatrantoLMWH aftertotalhipandkneearthroplasty,VTEwassignificantlylowerinpatientsreceivinghigher doses of dabigatran compared to LMWH. However, major bleeding complications were
significantly lower in the low-dose groups and elevated with higher doses.77 As a whole, furtherstudyisneededtoclearlydefinetheroleoftheseagentsinthepreventionofDVTand PEafterfootandankletraumaandsurgery.
RecommendedProphylaxis
It is clear that patients undergoing major orthopedic procedures are at a high risk for the developmentofthromboembolicdisease.However,themajorityofauthorsstillconsiderfoot andankle surgery to be a lower-riskprocedure compared to total hip or knee arthroplasty. Regardless,anindividualpatient’sriskfactorsaswellasthetypeand extentofthesurgical intervention mustbetakeninto considerationinorder todeterminethe optimal prophylactic regimen. A combination of mechanical and pharmacologic prophylaxis has been shown to
reducetheincidenceofDVTinasynergisticmanner,70anditistheoptimalstrategytoprevent thromboembolismafterfootandankletrauma andsurgery. Aspirinalonemaybeinadequate, while LMWH is associated with greater complications. Warfarin requires frequent patient monitoring, but may be the optimal strategy in a high-risk patient. The advent of newer anticoagulantsmaychangethelandscapeofthromboprophylaxisafterorthopedicsurgery,and theycanbeconsideredforDVTprophylaxisafterfootandankletraumaandsurgery.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has no specific recommendations for DVT prophylaxis after foot and ankle surgery, and the American OrthopaedicFootandAnkleSociety(AOFAS)doesnotsupportordiscouragetheuseofDVT
prophylaxisaftersurgery.78Similarly,theAmericanCollegeofChestPhysicians(ACCP)does notrecommendtheroutineuseofthromboprophylaxisinpatientswithisolatedlowerextremity
injuries distal to the knee.79 However, clinical judgment is recommended in determining patients that may require thromboprophylaxis. More specifically, patients with certain risk factors, undergoing higher risk procedures, exposed to general anesthesia, and subject to postoperativeimmobilizationshouldbemanagedaccordingly.
TREATMENTOFTHROMBOEMBOLISM
TreatmentofDVTandPEinthepostoperativepatientisnotwithoutcomplicationandrequires acleardiscussionoftreatmentgoals.Preventionofclotembolizationorlife-threateningPEis the primarygoal, but postphlebitic syndrome and pulmonary hypertensionare also potential causes of morbidity. Unfortunately, PE is difficult to diagnose and has the potential to be rapidlyfatal.Infact,among patientswhowilleventuallydieofaPE,two-thirds ofpatients will survive less than 30 minutes after the event, which is insufficient for most forms of
treatmentstobeeffective.46Thisfactunderscorestheimportanceoftreating DVT.Treatment regimensfor DVT includeanticoagulants,venacaval interruptiondevices, thrombolytics, or surgery.
https://t.me/medicina_free
Anticoagulants
The most widely used anticoagulants are heparin and warfarin. LMWH and newer anticoagulantssuchasfactorXinhibitors,however,arebecomingincreasinglypopularforthe treatmentofDVT.Patientswithoutcontraindications toanticoagulationare generallytreated withinitialadministrationofheparinalongwiththeinitiationofwarfarintherapy.Heparinis administered intravenously or by subcutaneous injection, with the goal of activated partial

LMWH has been advocated for the management of DVT as well, and it has become increasingly popular in clinical medicine today. These medications are administered by subcutaneous injection, andseveral studies haveshowed equal effectiveness as intravenous heparin.Furthermore,factorXinhibitorssuchasrivaroxabanwererecentlyapprovedbythe
Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of DVT.82 However, few studies have specificallyinvestigatedtheuseofanticoagulantsinthetreatmentofDVTafterfootandankle surgery.
VenaCavalFilterDevices
Indications for an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter include recurrent embolism despite anticoagulation(anticoagulationfailure)andDVTwithacontraindicationtooracomplication ofanticoagulation therapy. These devices, typicallyplaced byinterventional radiologists or vascular surgeons, can be permanently or temporarily inserted. These devices halt the proximalmigrationofembolifromthedistalvenoussystemtothelungs.IVCfiltershavebeen showntobeeffectiveinreducingPE,andlong-termfollow-uprevealedarecurrentembolism
rateof4%andpatencyrateof98%.83ComplicationsassociatedwithIVCfiltersareunusual butincludefiltermisplacement(2.6%)andriskofbleedingattheinsertionsite.Rarely,anIVC
filtercanmigrateorcancausebleedingsecondarytoperforationofthevenacava.

Thrombolytics
Thrombolyticssuchasstreptokinaseandtissueplasminogenactivatordissolvethrombi.They are used inpatients with PEandsignificanthemodynamic changes (systolic blood pressure
lessthan90to100mmHg).27Completeclotlysisoccursin30%to40%ofpatientsmedicated withtheseagents;however,thereisaveryhighriskofbleeding.84Infact,cerebralhemorrhage hasbeenreportedinashighas1%ofcases.

SurgicalIntervention
Surgical intervention such as venous thrombectomy or pulmonary embolectomy is only

performedwhenthrombolysishasfailedoriscontraindicated.Surgeryisalsoperformedwhen venousobstructionexists,whichcanleadtoceruleadolens(massiveclottingoftheleg)and

RecommendedTreatment
ItisclearthatlargeproximalthrombiandsymptomaticPEshouldbetreatedaggressively.In addition to medical treatment with intravenous hydration and supplemental oxygen, these patientsrequiretreatmentwithanticoagulantsorvenacavalfilterdevices.Thechoicetouse medicationsorvenacavalfilterdevicesshouldbeindividualizedforeachpatient.Theuseof thrombolyticsisrestrictedtopatientswithsignificanthemodynamicdisturbancesinthesetting of a PE. Clinical judgment takes precedence over any guidelines in the treatment of thromboembolicdisease.Therearenospecificguidelinesforthetreatmentofthromboembolic diseaseafterfootandankletraumaorsurgery.Anopendiscussionisimportantwithpatientsin determiningtheoptimaltreatmentstrategyforDVTinthesettingoffootandankletraumaand surgery.
CONCLUSION
Thromboembolic disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is an importantcomplicationthatcanoccurafterfootandankletraumaandsurgery.Severalfactors contribute to the development of thromboembolic disease after foot and ankle trauma and surgery,includingstasisandendothelialinjury. Patient riskfactorsfurtherincreasethisrisk, andasaresult,patientsshouldbescreenedinordertodeterminetheriskofthromboembolic disease. The diagnosis of DVT and PE is made by physical exam and imaging, and the treatmentisdictatedbyapatient’sconditionaswellasrisksandbenefitsoftreatment.Even thoughtherearenospecificDVTprophylaxisguidelinesissuedbyanyofthemajoradvisory associationsincludingAAOS,AOFAS,andACCP,DVTprophylaxisisrecommendedforall patients with risk factors for thromboembolic disease. In general, although thromboembolic disease is rare in the setting of foot and ankle trauma and surgery, clinical judgment is paramount in preventing the development of thromboembolic disease in this setting and a patient’sriskfactorprofilemustbeascertained.
In thefuture, randomizedcontrolled trials with solid methodology are neededtofurther determine the efficacy and risks of anticoagulants in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolicdiseaseafterfootandanklesurgery.Studiesfocusingonneweranticoagulants such as factor X inhibitors and direct thrombin inhibitors will be particularly interesting. Studies specificallydefining riskafter footand ankle trauma andspecific types offoot and anklesurgerywillfurtherhelptostratifyriskandpreventthedevelopmentofthromboembolic disease.Withanincreasingemphasisbeingplacedondiseasepreventionataninstitutionaland nationallevel,wearehopefulthatfutureresearchwillimproveoutcomesforpatientsafterfoot andankletraumaandsurgery.
