Abstract
Total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the major orthopedic surgeries, which
is considered one solution for patients with degenerative joint disease. These surgeries are considered high risk surgeries for the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Limiting both VTE events and bleeding episodes is essential; since the bleeding has a negative impact on the surgical outcomes, so, excessive anticoagulation should be avoided. The primary objective in this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes for the use of a VTE risk stratification procedure for selecting the extended
VTE prophylaxis post-TKR Surgeries.
