As both cancer and major orthopaedic surgery are risk factors for venous thromboembolism, patients undergoing lower-extremity oncologic endoprosthetic arthroplasty for neoplastic processes are at substantial risk of the development of symptomatic venous thromboembolism. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing lower-extremity oncologic endoprosthetic arthroplasty. Secondary purposes were to assess whether chemoprophylaxis influenced the incidence of venous thromboembolism, surgical complications, or the incidence of local sarcoma recurrence. We also sought to determine whether any known risk factors for venous thromboembolism could be identified in this patient population.
