Higher Postoperative Activity Levels May Reduce Venous Thromboembolism Risk After TKA .
Higher postoperative activity levels may be associated with a reduced risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Recent findings suggest that patients who mobilize earlier and maintain greater levels of physical activity after surgery experience lower rates of thromboembolic complications, likely due to improved circulation and reduced venous stasis. Early ambulation is a key component of modern enhanced recovery protocols, supporting both functional recovery and complication prevention. These results reinforce the importance of postoperative rehabilitation strategies that encourage safe, progressive mobilization to optimize outcomes after TKA, while complementing pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis and other perioperative risk-reduction measures.
