Pelvic fracture patients: how common are hidden blood clots?
NCT ID NCT07165587
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tracked 81 adults with pelvic or hip socket fractures to see how often they developed blood clots in their legs or lungs, even while receiving standard clot-preventing medication. All participants got ultrasound scans to find clots that might not cause symptoms. The goal was to better understand clot risks in these serious injuries.
