| Abstract |
Calf muscular vein thrombosis (CMVT) has been known for approximately 40 years and many research studies for CMVT have been conducted but many opinions about the incidence and risk factors are still controversial. The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the incidence and analyze the risk factors for CMVT in elderly patients with isolated intertrochanteric fractures that were managed surgically. The medical documents of patients suffering from intertrochanteric fractures who were treated in the traumatic orthopaedics department of our hospital from January 2009 to August 2017 were reviewed. The patients were allocated to the CMVT group and non-CMVT group basing on color Doppler flow imaging examination, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The clinical data such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and the Working Group on Osteosynthesis Questions/American Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification of fractures were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for CMVT. In total, 312 patients were included in this study of which 31 patients were diagnosed with CMVT and allocated to the CMVT group and 281 patients were excluded from suffering from CMVT and included in the non-CMVT group. The incidence of CMVT was 9.94% in our study. The multivariate logistic regression showed that a fracture classification of A3, diabetes, time between injury and operation greater than 48 h are independent risk factors for CMVT in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary fixation. Complicated fractures, diabetes and prolonged time from injury to surgery are risk factors for CMVT in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with intramedullary fixation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2018.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Die Orthopädie
#228
of 678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,141
of 348,698 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Orthopädie
#6
of 44 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 678 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 348,698 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 44 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
