Population

Patients with a hip fracture

Intervention

Diagnosis and prevention strategies for venous thromboembolism (indirect multidetector computed tomography venography, intermittent pneumatic compression devices, foot pumps, low molecular weight heparin, and early surgery)

Outcome

Venous thromboembolism (VTE)

This review recommends active preoperative screening with CT venography and immediate mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis (LMWH) to prevent VTE in hip fracture patients.
