Results The incidence rate of DVT (18.5%) and moderate DVT (4.6%) in the observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (33.3% and 20%, P<0.05). The incidence rate of lower limb swelling and pain in observation group was lower than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment of IPC could reduce the incidence rate of DVT in the lower limbs of orthopedics, and remiss the clinical symptoms.It has a significant effect, which is worth the clinical promoted application.
