TEG-detected intraoperative hypercoagulability in geriatric orthopedic patients warrants vigilance; this Level 5 observational study leaves open whether targeted interventions alter thromboembolic outcomes.
Background: There is a high incidence of thromboembolism after major orthopedic surgery. However, more perioperative thromboembolic complications are expected after orthopedic surgery in geriatric patients due to the more offensive therapeutic measures and the increasing number of such patients with multimorbidity. Therefore it is important to investigate the perioperative blood coagulation status in detail.
