Although it is generally believed that venous thromboembolism (VTE) after shoulder surgery is very rare, there are increasing reports of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) associated with shoulder surgery. To our knowledge only few studies have reviewed the available evidence on the subject. The purpose of this study was to review the available evidence in the published literature regarding incidence, risk factors, diagnosis and management of DVT/PE following shoulder surgery (Level IV evidence).
尽管人们普遍认为肩部手术后发生静脉血栓栓塞（VTE）的情况非常罕见，但与肩部手术相关的深静脉血栓形成（DVT）和肺栓塞（PE）的报道却越来越多。据我们所知，仅有少数研究对该主题的现有证据进行了综述。本研究的目的是回顾已发表文献中关于肩部手术后DVT/PE的发生率、危险因素、诊断和管理的现有证据（四级证据）。
