Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin (LMWH) for Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) Prophylaxis

Deep Venous Thrombosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin for DVT Prophylaxis After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Ankle Fractures: A Randomized, Prospective Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

1. The use of LMWH following open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fractures will reduce the number of thrombi formed.

2. The rates of clinically significant DVT will be equivalent between two groups.

Clinical Trial Description

Routine use of thromboprophylaxis may be over treatment and definitely increases healthcare costs. While prophylaxis may reduce the number of thrombi formed the exact number and clinical significance of these is unknown. This study seeks to answer the question of whether or not DVT prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) following ORIF of ankle fractures is warranted. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
