Hi,
After the orthopedic surgeries, such as knee replacement surgery, patients are at a high risk of developing stroke as there is a tendency of blood cloth formation after those surgeries. For that reason the patients receive blood thinners after surgeries, but still some small amount of patients can develop a stroke.
Take care
