Most of Thai orthopedic surgeons ignore thromboprophylaxis because of less symptomatic VTE in Asian population. The Thai consensus on venous thromboembolism in hip and knee surgery consist of twenty-four common questions about VTE including their supported literatures. The gold standard of diagnosis is contrast venography although the duplex ultrasound has more role in postoperative patients.
