title: [Hip near osteosynthesis, total hip replacement and prevention of thromboembolism (author's transl)].
abstract: The effect of physiotherapy and pharmacological treatment in preventing thromboembolic disease at hip-near operations was compared from 1971 to 1978 in 787 patients being more than 60 years old. Physiotherapy alone and its completion by Dextran and Acetyl-salicylic-acid turned out to be insufficient. It was only by low-dose Heparin in combination with Dihydroergotamin (Dihydergot) and continuing physiotherapy that the rate of thromboembolism could be lowered effectively.
