Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the common complications after total hip replacements (THRs). To reduce the risk of VTE, early rising, active movement of the foot, the use of a foot pump or graduated compression stockings and prophylactic administration of anticoagulant drugs are important. Further, intraoperative factors should be taken intoãζζconsideration. The objective of this study is to assess the influence of surgical approaches, which are a modified Watson-Jones approach and a posterolateral approach, on the frequency of VTE after primary THRs.Introduction
