Best Answer

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.

As long as you stick to the prescribed dose of each you will be fine.


Is a broken leg emergency surgery?

- If the fracture is open (the bone is breaking out through your skin) then yes, you should go to emergency for fast surgery. - If you have broken your femur (really big bone in your thigh) then you have probably been in a bad accident with major trauma, so there are probably many reasons it is an emergency. - For a simple closed fracture (no bone sticking through the skin) of your leg below the knee, it is likely not going to need surgery, just a cast, but you should still go to the emergency room of your local hospital.
