Although PE are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing repair of proximal femur fractures, this cohort of patients are at increased falls risk and are therefore largely unsuitable for long term anticoagulant therapy %K Hip fracture %K Pulmonary emboli %K CTPA %K Pulmonary angiogram %K Proximal %K Femur %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6062902/
