Abstract
Patients at highest risk for developing venous thromboembolism include those undergoing major orthopedic surgery. However, physicians vary in their strategies to prevent venous thromboembolism. We evaluated whether the use of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after orthopedic surgery is related to patient ethnicity.
