Incidence of acute Deep Vein Thrombosis in pediatric and adolescent orthopedic trauma hospitalized patients and effect of rivaroxaban treatment.

A rivaroxaban-predominant IOHA strategy significantly reduced the thrombotic burden without increasing the risk of bleeding for the treatment of DVT in adolescents with orthopedic trauma. Duration of anticoagulation therapy <6 weeks appears appropriate for adolescent orthopedic trauma-related DVT.
