Integrative orthopaedics

Responsible Paul Ackermann

STOP Leg Clots a national multicenter study to investigate if the addition of mechanical thrombosis inhibition via so-called intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) during lower leg immobilization can reduce the risk of blood clot formation and stimulate healing.
