Objective: To study the effect of video health education on prevention of venous thrombosis of calf muscles. Methods: 271 patients were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into two groups. 133 cases of experimental group were educated with video health education, 138 cases of the control group were educated with oral health education. The incidence of venous thrombosis, health education knowledge score and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of venous thrombosis of calf muscle was 5.3% and 12.3% in the experimental group and control group respectively and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The scores of health education knowledge for patients were 89.90±2.98 and 71.37 ± 5.83, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Patient satisfaction was 100% and 95.7% respectively and the difference was statistically significant（P＜0.05). Conclusion: Video health education can reduce the incidence of venous thrombosis of calf muscle in patients with lower limb surgery and improve patient satisfaction.
