Symptomatic and asymptomatic deep-vein thrombosis
(DVT) is a common complication of knee replacement, with an incidence
of up to 85% in the absence of prophylaxis. National guidelines
for thromboprophylaxis in knee replacement are derived from total
knee replacement (TKR) data. No guidelines exist specific to unicompartmental knee
replacement (UKR). We investigated whether the type of knee arthroplasty
(TKR or UKR) was related to the incidence of DVT and discuss the
applicability of existing national guidelines for prophylaxis following
UKR. . Data were collected prospectively on 3449 knee replacements,
including procedure type, tourniquet time, surgeon, patient age,
use of drains and gender. These variables were related to the incidence
of symptomatic DVT. The overall DVT rate was 1.6%. The only variable that had an
association with DVT was operation type, with
