Abstract
PURPOSE There is a lack of consensus regarding need for Venous Thrombo Embolism (VTE) prophylaxis following arthroscopic knee surgery and open soft tissue knee reconstruction. Clear cut guidelines like ones for trauma surgery and arthroplasty do not exist and the published literature is limited to case reports with a few society guidelines. Given this lack of consensus, we conducted a modified Delphi questionnaire of international experts to provide recommendations on this topic. METHODS The consensus statements were generated using an anonymised 3 round modified Delphi questionnaire, sent to an international panel of 38 knee surgeons, with an 80% agreement being set as the limit for consensus. The responses were analysed using descriptive statistics with measures like mode, median and box plots. Feedback was provided to all panelists based on responses from the previous rounds to help generate the consensus. RESULTS Six consensus statements were generated after the three rounds of Delphi. Patient factors, prolonged surgery duration and family history of thrombogenic events emerged as the main points to be taken into consideration for prophylaxis. CONCLUSION It was established through this study, that there exists a select group of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery that justify the usage of VTE prophylaxis. The expert responses to most of the questions in different scenarios favoured usage of VTE prophylaxis based on patient factors like advanced age, past history of VTE, smoking, oral contraceptive use etc. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V.

[PMID: 34256233 PMCID: PMC8281600 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2021.106193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following arthroscopic surgery is a rare condition, especially arthroscopic meniscal surgery. There have been three reported cases of DVT after arthroscopic meniscal procedure, all related to arthroscopic meniscectomy. In this study, we reported the first case of symptomatic DVT at the level of the femoral vein to the popliteal vein following arthroscopic meniscal root repair. Case presentation The case was a 55-year-old Thai female who presented with left knee pain for 2 months after a fall. She was diagnosed as left medial meniscal root injury and had had an arthroscopic meniscal root repair. At 6 weeks post-operatively, she developed left leg swelling without pain. She was diagnosed as DVT and was initially treated with enoxaparin for three days then warfarin for three months. Conclusion We report a case of symptomatic DVT that extended from the femoral vein to the popliteal vein after arthroscopic meniscal root repair. The risks of DVT following arthroscopic surgery are aged more than 40 years old and tourniquet time more than 60 min. Symptomatic DVT can develop after arthroscopic meniscal root repair. Patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery should be advised to watch for signs of DVT. If the patient develops leg swelling after arthroscopic surgery, they should see their doctor immediately.
