Multiple ways: Massaging the calf, applying compression stockings or even intermittent compression stockings can help maintain the circulation. Keeping the leg in same dependent position can lead to clot formation in vein. Also we recommend taking a blood thinner sometime but that depends on patient to patient. Check with your orthopedic surgeon.
