A protocol-based approach to VTE prophylaxis and screening in trauma patients with pelvic and/or acetabular reconstruction resulted in no VTE-related mortality. Pre- and post-operative screening for DVT changed the management in five patients, with none developing PE. Patients requiring more aggressive resuscitation had a higher rate of PE. The VTE rate was lower than previously reported.
