Department of Orthopedics, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Objective: Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is considered the standard of care for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the hospital setting. However, its widespread adoption after hospitalization has been limited due to its shortcomings in obstruction of venous valves and blood reflux. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of continuous graduated pneumatic compression (CGPC), a new device with a novel mechanism, and IPC on lower hemodynamics and the incidence of VTE in patients undergoing arthroplasty.

Article Synopsis
- Popliteal artery injury is a rare but significant complication of knee arthroscopic surgery, highlighting a need for more research due to a lack of data and guidelines.
- The study analyzed 17,000 procedures and found a 0.059% incidence of popliteal artery injury among 10 patients, detailing the types of surgeries performed and various treatment methods used.
- After an average follow-up of over 43 months, patients showed no reported complications and exhibited positive recovery in joint function and vascular health.
