Dynamic Changes and Relevant Factors of Perioperative Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients with Thoracolumbar Fractures Caused by High-Energy Injuries

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and relevant factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with thoracolumbar fractures caused by high-energy injuries. Methods From January 2016 to June 2021, a total of 655 patients with thoracolumbar fractures who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were examined by preoperative and postoperative ultrasonography, and divided into thrombus growth group, thrombus invariant group, and thrombus regression group according to the preoperative and postoperative ultrasonographic results. Medical record data, including demographic data, surgical data, and laboratory results, were collected and the differences in various factors among the groups were compared. Results DVT was found in 99 patients (15.1%, 99/655) before surgery, including 79 cases of distal thrombus, 7 cases of proximal thrombus, and 13 cases of mixed thrombus. The incidence of postoperative DVT increased to 20.6% (134/655), including 96 cases of distal thrombus, 15 cases of proximal thrombus, and 23 cases of mixed thrombus. Among them, 39.7% had thrombus growth, 49.3% had thrombus basically unchanged and 11.0% had thrombolysis. There were significant differences in age, lower extremity muscle strength, time from trauma to surgery, operation time, blood loss, blood transfusion, and post 3-D-dimer among the three groups. Conclusions In patients with thoracolumbar fractures caused by high-energy injuries, the majority of patients with DVT do not change or grow after surgery, and only a few of them have thrombolysis. Younger age, lower extremity motor, and fewer blood transfusion contribute to thrombolysis. Delayed surgical intervention, longer operation time, and higher blood loss can lead to thrombosis growth. Post 3-D-dimer is closely related to the dynamic changes of thrombus.
