Calic - Internal Femurs - Dr. Assayag - 2024 - My Second LL Experience

In my consultation with Assayag he said most of his patients who had blood clots within the past few years had them between 4 and 8 weeks after surgery so maybe this doesn't really reduce it by much.

didnt one giotikas patient due 4-8 weeks after surgery as well?

it is odd because in other ortho surgeries they say the max risk is in the first 2 weeks. maybe LL is more risky for PE!!

Yes, at around week 7.

It seems like that might be the case. Assayag mentioned at Cyborg 4 Life's 2024 Surgeon Summit that he's seen enough blood clots beyond 4 to 6 weeks to make him think there might be something unique to the stretching of blood vessels with LL that increases the risk of clots.
