Association Between Thromboelastometry Identified Hypercoagulability and Thromboembolic Complications After Arthroplasty: A Prospective Observational Study in Patients With Obesity

The prothrombotic state of obesity can increase the risk of thromboembolism. We aimed to investigate if there was an association between baseline hypercoagulable rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) profile and thromboembolic complications in arthroplasty patients with obesity.
