In Our Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, Cases with Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis in the Upper and Lower Extremities

Abstract

Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis is rare but not unimportant. The current literature is limited and its management largely has the same applications as the treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. The fact that deep vein thrombosis has similar findings to many different diseases in Orthopedics and Traumatology clinics and that it can develop secondary to primary pathologies should definitely be considered in differential diagnoses. Not considering delayed deep vein thrombosis diagnoses in differential diagnoses may also lead to an increase in patient morbidity and mortality.
