Evidence / Sources / E26
Graham WC, Flanigan DC. Venous thromboembolism following arthroscopic knee surgery. Sports Med 2014
What it can tell you
The clot-risk landscape after arthroscopic knee surgery — the review this site's protection-stage VTE guidance leans on alongside the prophylaxis evidence.
What it cannot
MACI-specific risk. Like E25, it is arthroscopy-population evidence carried over and labelled as such.
Everything on this site that leans on E26 — 5 claims
Stage II · Protection“Knee surgery is a known risk window for venous thromboembolism, and the simple habits — frequent ankle pumps, early safe mobilization — are the protective measures readers can act …”Program · Stage II (patellofemoral)“Ankle pumps and early mobilization — Active ankle movement was standard care in the randomized cohort. The clot-specific evidence is from knee arthroscopy generally.”Program · Stage II (tibiofemoral)“Ankle pumps and early mobilization — Active ankle movement was standard care in the randomized cohort.

Read it like a sceptic
A current-concepts review (Tier 4) — expert synthesis, not systematic method.
Population
Arthroscopic knee surgery — a different population from MACI itself. Wherever this source appears, that flag appears with it.
Selection policy
Sources enter the registry through docs/research — the evidence table records design, population, and size for every entry, and pages cannot cite anything outside it.
