As a routine minimally invasive surgery for knee joint diseases,arthroscopic surgery should draw sufficient attention to postoperative venous thromboembolism(VTE).Due to the relatively few characteristic symptoms and signs of VTE,assessment and diagnosis typically rely on methods such as D-dimer testing and lower limb vascular ultrasound.Although current guidelines recommend pharmacological prophylaxis for patients at risk of VTE,there is still controversy regarding whether post-arthroscopy patients should adopt this preventive strategy.Risk factors closely associated with post-arthroscopy VTE include age,obesity,and a history of VTE,but there is still varying opinion among regional guidelines regarding the applicability of pharmacological prevention.This review by the author summarizes the current research on risk assessment for post-arthroscopy VTE and pharmacological prevention,aiming to provide guidance for clinical practice.
