Introduction: There are currently no guidelines supporting the use of routine chemoprophylaxis to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in arthroscopic surgery. Studies and meta-analysis show opposing views on its routine use in arthroscopy. This study aimed to examine the incidence of DVT in a prospective cohort of knee arthroscopy and knee arthroplasty patients, and to analyse the risk factors contributing to DVT.

- Wen Siang Kevin Lim's research investigates the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy and knee arthroplasty, addressing the lack of established guidelines for chemoprophylaxis in these procedures
- The study highlights the varied opinions in existing literature regarding routine chemoprophylaxis for DVT prevention in arthroscopic surgery, indicating a need for further analysis and recommendations specific to the Asian population
- Lim's findings aim to identify risk factors contributing to DVT in the different surgical contexts, ultimately striving to enhance patient safety and inform clinical practice concerning anticoagulation strategies in arthroscopic surgery
