MUSCLE ATROPHY, DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS, PRESSURE SORES, COMPLICATIONS, DVT
A total of 11 complications occurred in the control group (pressure sores = 2; muscle atrophy of the lower limbs = 4; reduced cardiopulmonary function = 5); however, only 4 complications occurred in the experimental group (muscle atrophy of the lower limbs = 2; reduced cardiopulmonary function = 2). No deep vein thrombosis was noted in either group. In terms of overall incidence, the probability of complications within 3 months postoperatively was significantly lower in the experimental group (13%) than in the control group (37%) (Table
