» Venous thromboembolism (VTE) after shoulder arthroscopy is rare (0.01%-0.38%) but impacts a significant number of patients because of the high procedure volume. » Studies found no significant benefit in reducing VTE risk with aspirin or low-molecular-weight heparins. » Current guidelines for thromboprophylaxis in shoulder arthroscopy lack consensus and need patient-specific considerations. » Further research is required to develop evidence-based thromboprophylaxis guidelines for shoulder arthroscopy.
