Summary

Traumatic lesions are the leading causes of admission to the emergency center (39%), isolated non-surgical lower limbs trauma are in the foreground. Two recent meta-analyzes suggest the value of Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWH) which would reduce symptomatic Thromboembolism Events (TE) in patients with lower limb trauma. However, many recent studies conclude to the need of stratifying the TE risk according to the patient and the nature of his trauma to obtain an individualized therapeutic decision.

The retrospectively established L-TRIP (cast) score allows stratification of the risk without taking into account the type of trauma. The TIP score (Trauma, Immobilization and Patient) was established by consensus of international experts via the Delphi method.

We suggest that the application of the TIP score to rationalize indications of thromboprophylaxis in patients with isolated non-surgical trauma of a lower limb should reduce the rate of anticoagulation prescription without increasing the risk of symptomatic thromboembolic complications with a direct benefit for patients and medico-economic for the society.
