Aims. We investigated the efficacy and safety profile of commonly used venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis agents following hip and knee arthroplasty. Methods. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and OrthoSearch was performed. Prophylaxis agents investigated were aspirin (< 325 mg and ≥ 325 mg daily), enoxaparin, dalteparin, fondaparinux, unfractionated
Thrombin has many biological properties similar to those of growth factors. In a previous study, we showed that thrombin improves healing of the rat tendo Achillis. Low molecular weight

We performed a randomised controlled study to compare
We studied the safety of combining the postoperative use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with low-dose
A prospective study involving 500 consecutive patients undergoing hip replacement was performed to find out whether a combination of
In a double-blind, randomised study of thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing total hip replacement, we compared a low-molecular-weight
The optimal method of prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism after total hip replacement (THR) remains uncertain. Most surgeons use some form of pharmacological prophylaxis, most commonly
In a randomised trial we compared the effects of two different antithrombotic regimens on the incidence of venographically established deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in 83 patients undergoing surgery for fracture of the femoral neck. Group A received dextran 40 peroperatively plus 0.5 g aspirin a day beginning before operation and continuing for 10 days after. Group B received
In previous randomised clinical trials of thromboprophylaxis after total hip replacement, low-molecular-weight
Patients who undergo total knee replacement (TKR)are at high risk of venous thromboembolism. Low-molecular-weight

The June 2023 Trauma Roundup. 360. looks at: Aspirin or low-molecular-weight
The incidence of deep-vein thrombosis and the need for thromboprophylaxis following isolated trauma below the knee is uncertain. We have investigated this with a prospective randomised double-blind controlled trial using low molecular weight
Aims. We studied the safety and efficacy of multimodal thromboprophylaxis in patients with a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) who undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) within the first 120 postoperative days, and the mortality during the first year. Multimodal prophylaxis includes discontinuation of procoagulant medications, VTE risk stratification, regional anaesthesia, an intravenous bolus of unfractionated
The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of post-operative symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), as well as the risk factors for and location of DVT, in 665 patients (701 ankles) who underwent primary total ankle replacement. All patients received low-molecular-weight
