Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially life-threatening complication following total knee replacement (TKR), with early mobilization proposed as a pivotal strategy to reduce postoperative thrombotic risk. However, gaps remain in the comparative effectiveness of mobilization timing and thromboprophylaxis modalities. Objective: This study aimed to determine the impact of early mobilization (within 24 hours) on DVT incidence after TKR and to assess the association of demographic factors, mobilizati…
