The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new leg compression device in preventing post-surgical deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) that can occur after major and complex spine surgery. The investigators aim to show that this new compression device is no worse than the standard sequential compression device (SCD) at preventing DVT and may be able to detect deep vein thrombosis in patients who are not typically screened for this diagnosis after surgery. This new device may be able to capture an important post-surgical complication while providing a more comfortable treatment option.
