A fourfold increased incidence from the third to the eight decade in men and a preponderance among women of approximately 55-70%. [24] The average mean age of affected patients is 60 years. [16] Thrombophlebitis can develop along the arm, back, or neck veins, the leg is by far the most common site.
Internal bleeding (also called internal haemorrhage) is a loss of blood from a blood vessel that collects inside the body, and is not usually visible from the outside.

Fluid replacement is often necessary to treat blood loss. [66] Other complications of injuries include cavitation, development of fistulas, and organ failure.
