Minmizing embolism
« on: July 23, 2016, 08:56:30 PM »
Does exercise and walking during lengthening, deformity correction and consolidation phase after limb surgeries with Ilizarov devices minimize the risk of embolism (Blood clot in bloodstream)?

Yes
It will decrease (not eliminate but decrease) your risk of clots

You should take heparine shots to avoid embolism. Some doctors forget this but it's very important.
