Orthopedic patients often need to receive surgical treatment, and surgery will increase the damage to the body, resulting in postoperative recovery difficulties. Deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity is one of the common complications in orthopedics, which has a high probability of occurrence in clinic, and seriously threatens the life safety of orthopedics patients. If it is not properly handled in time, it may lead to the occurrence of pulmonary embolism, and even cause the death of the patient. Due to the complex factors leading to the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity in orthopaedic patients, nurses should attach great importance to the prevention and treatment of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity in practical work, so as to ensure the effect of treatment and reduce the pain of patients.
