This study investigates the effectiveness of the combined application of ultrasound and coagulation indicators in assessing the risk of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during the perioperative period of hip fracture. Patients with hip fractures, particularly the elderly, face a high risk of DVT due to surgical trauma, prolonged immobilization, and hypercoagulability. Ultrasound, as a non-invasive imaging technique, provides real-time visualization of venous blood flow abnormalities, while coagulation indicators (such as D-dimer and fibrinogen) reflect the biological processes of thrombosis. This prospective cohort study performed ultrasound examinations and coagulation tests on perioperative patients and analyzed their combined diagnostic efficacy for DVT. The results demonstrate that integrating ultrasound with coagulation indicators enhances early DVT detection, optimizes individualized anticoagulation therapy, and reduces thrombotic complications. These findings contribute to refining perioperative DVT risk assessment systems and provide a more precise prevention and management strategy for clinical practice.
