Abstract
Background:Deep-vein thrombosis is a common complication following pelvic and acetabular fractures. The hypothesis of this study was that pulsatile mechanical compression is superior to standard sequential mechanical compression for decreasing the prevalence of deep-vein thrombosis in patients withKeywords
