“…However, there remains limited information on the incidence/risk factors for VTE following ACL surgery. Despite a thorough review of the literature we have found few reports from small case series of the incidence and outcome following symptomatic venous thrombosis after primary ACL surgery [5,21]. Other studies identified risk factors for VTE as being over 40 years of age and an operative duration greater than one hour [22].…”

Unlike the English National Joint Registry (NJR) for arthroplasty, no surgeon driven national database currently exists for ligament surgery in England. Therefore information on outcome and adverse events following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is limited to case series. This restricts the ability to make formal recommendations upon surgical care. Prospectively collected data, which is routinely collected on every NHS patient admitted to hospital in England, was analysed to determine national rates of 90-day symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) rate, 30-day wound infection and readmission rates following primary ACL reconstruction between March 2008 and February 2010 (13,941 operations, annual incidence 13.5 per 100,000 English population). 90-day DVT and PTE rates were 0.30% (42) and 0.18% (25) respectively. There were no in-hospital deaths. 0.75% (104) of the consecutive patient cohort had a wound complication recorded. 0.25% (35) underwent a further procedure to wash out the infected knee joint and 1.36% (190) were readmitted to an orthopaedic ward within 30 days. This is the first national comprehensive study of the incidence of significant complications following ACL surgery in England. This should allow meaningful interpretation of future baseline data supporting the development of a national ligament registry.

“…DVT after arthroscopic shoulder surgery is rare, especially when compared with knee arthroscopy, where the incidence of DVT or pulmonary embolism is reportedly 1.5% to 17.9% [11,12,38,44].…”

“…Currently, the reported incidence of VTEs without thromboprophylaxis after knee arthroscopy ranges from 0.6% to 18%, depending on the diagnostic method used. [2][3][4][5][6] Most published studies have included relatively small numbers of patients and provided few risk factors for these events, [7][8][9] making it difficult to create definitive guidelines for thromboprophylaxis in knee arthroscopy patients. Nonetheless, there are classic risk factors for the development of VTEs described in the literature.…”
