Outcome: duplex ultrasonography\u2013confirmed DVT before initiation of therapeutic anticoagulation. Candidate predictors included demographics; injury features (Schatzker type\/side, injury-to-surgery interval); and coagulation, inflammatory, and nutritional\u2013immune indices. Features were selected by the intersection of LASSO and Boruta. Data were split 7:3 into training\/validation; seven algorithms were tuned with 5-fold cross-validation. Validation assessed AUROC (95% confidence interval), Brier score, calibration, and decision-curve analysis (DCA). Model interpretability was assessed using SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 894 patients, 299 (33.4%) had preoperative DVT. Nine predictors were retained: D-dimer, age, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, prognostic nutritional index, C-reactive protein, lymphocyte count, Schatzker type, neutrophil count, and smoking. XGBoost performed best (AUROC 0.840, 95% confidence interval 0.790\u20130.884; accuracy 0.787; sensitivity 0.640; specificity 0.860; F1 score 0.667; Brier 0.149) and provided net clinical benefit on DCA. Tree-ensemble models showed training\u2013validation performance gaps, indicating overfitting. SHAP ranked D-dimer and age as dominant with non-linear effects; higher C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, lower prognostic nutritional index, advanced Schatzker types, and smoking increased risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An interpretable XGBoost model based on routine preoperative variables identifies TPF patients at high risk of preoperative DVT and may guide ultrasound triage and perioperative management.
