Total contact casting (TCC) is one of the most commonly utilized modalities in the management of diabetic feet. We undertook a retrospective review to determine the prevalence of symptomatic VTE events in patients treated in a weight bearing TCC in our diabetic foot unit, and to formulate guidelines for VTE prophylaxis. Electronic records were reviewed to identify all patients treated in a TCC between 2014 and 2021. Data collection included patient demographics, comorbidities, period of immobilization in TCC, the incidence of VTE events, and any VTE prophylaxis prescribed during their period in TCC.Introduction
