AIM

To study the incidence of thromboembolism among patients treated with ring fixators in lower limb injuries and their risk factor association.

METHODS & MATERIALS

Notes of 180 (130 men & 50 women) patients treated with circular frame were retrospectively studied. Risk factors for thromboembolism as advised by NICE were recorded and scored. The duration of pre-operative limb immobilisation, hospital stay and duration of frame, were also recorded.
