title: [Prevention of deep venous thrombosis after knee arthroscopy. Recent advances].
abstract: In absence of prophylaxis, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis after knee arthroscopy is reported to be as high as 18%. Recommendations for thromboprophylaxis after knee arthroscopy have actually been updated. The results of the largest randomized clinical trial (KANT study) in this setting are reported together with a review of the literature.
