Anticoagulant injections are often recommended after surgeries or in case of immobilization to prevent blood clots.
In the case of a leg fracture, especially when it is in a cast, the risk of deep vein thrombosis increases. Typically, these injections should be continued for at least 10-14 days after hospitalization, and in some cases, like joint surgery, up to 5 weeks may be recommended.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
