ABSTRACT
As the elderly population increases, occurrence of hip fractures has shown a rapid increase, and posttraumatic and postoperative venous thromboembolism can lead to fatal complications. Current prophylactic management includes mechanical and chemical prophylaxis. A 76-year-oldfemale, who was lost to follow-up after diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism four years ago, was admitted to our emergency room for a right intertrochanteric fracture. Before the operation, the thromboembolism recurred and was treated with anticoagulation medication. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty and fixation of the greater trochanter with a hook plate were performed 18 days after the trauma. Superficial femoral artery obstruction and venous thromboembolism occurred on the first day after the operation.
