    AbstractThromboembolic events continue to account for a high percentage of complications after orthopedic surgery. Of significance in prevention of these diseases is appropriate pharmacotherapeutic prophylaxis, both pre and postoperative, as well as orthopedic and trauma surgeons being aware of the risk of such complications and of possibilities of avoiding or minimizing thromboembolic events. The authors present some cases that were certified in Chair of Forensic Medicine, Silesian Medical University in Katowice, in which thromboembolic complications did develop after conservative or surgical orthopedic treatment, emphasizing possible difficulties in unequivocal assessment of the cause-effect relationship between the employed treatment and the thromboembolic event in the aspect of medico-legal certification.
