Your deep veins are likely to get injured along with broken leg. Broken leg is likely to give rise to open fracture of the tibia bone. You are likely to have deep vein thrombosis in such case. The thrombus may get dislodged to give you pulmonary embolism, which can be deadly complication. Blood thinners are given to prevent the deep vein thrombosis.
