Popis:	Lower limb orthopedic surgery involves great risks of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). We experienced six cases of DVT and PTE in a year.[Cases] The six cases consisted of femoral neck fracture (2 cases), femoral supracondylar fracture (1 case), arthroscopic surgery for meniscus disorder (1 case), TKA (1 case), and THA (1 case). All were cured by anti-coagulation and thrombolysis therapy.[Discussion] We have been using D-dimmer as a screening test since November 2001 because it allows us to arrest symptomless DVT and PTE. The D-dimmer test is also useful for determining early treatment and avoiding massive PTE.
