title: [Prevention of venous thrombosis in surgery of the lower limbs. Various phases of an experience in a general traumatology service].
abstract: Intraoperative findings in traumatology reveal that any damage to a vein is initially plugged by a mural thrombus. This thrombus ensures spontaneous haemostasis and is therefore part of a physiological process. An extension of this initial clot is no longer physiological process. An extension of this initial clot is no longer physiological however and results in pathological thrombosis by stagnation. On the basis of these findings, a very specialized anticoagulant drug is required immediately after the accident. The actual choice of anticoagulant is of secondary importance.
