Insufficient duration of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after total hip or knee replacement when compared with the time course of thromboembolic events: findings from the Global Orthopaedic Registry.
Patients who have undergone total hip or knee replacement (THR and TKR, respectively) are at high risk of venous thromboembolism. We aimed to determine the time courses of both the incidence of venous thromboembolism and effective prophylaxis. Patients with elective primary THR and TKR were enrolled in the multi-national Global Orthopaedic Registry. Data on the incidence of venous thromboemboli...
متن کاملOptimal duration of prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism following total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty.
Elective total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty are associated with a high risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism. Traditionally, antithrombotic prophylaxis has been administered during the hospital stay. However, with patients spending less time in the hospital after surgery, there is a need to continue thromboprophylaxis beyond hospital discharge. The current recommendation ...
متن کاملSymptomatic venous thromboembolism after total knee replacement.
Chemical prophylaxis is known to reduce the venographic prevalence of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) after total knee replacement (TKR), but it is uncertain whether this affects the incidence of symptoms. Further analysis depends on the basic epidemiology of thromboembolic symptoms. We therefore studied the pattern of such symptoms in a consecutive series of 1000 patients with primary TKR, with par...

IntroductIon In 2005, approximately 285,000 individuals underwent total hip replacement (THR) procedures, and approximately 523,000 individuals had total knee replacement (TKR) procedures in the U.S.1 As the population ages, it is estimated that by 2030 the demand for these surgeries will increase, and the numbers are expected to grow to 572,000 THR procedures and 3,480,000 TKR procedures annua...
