[Prevention of deep venous thrombosis in arthroplastic surgery of the hip by the combination of heparinotherapy and the antithrombosis stocking].
Two hundred and eighty-six patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of major risk factors. The so-called "at risk" patients were treated with continuous post-operative heparin therapy combined or not with anti-thrombosis stockings. The patients regarded as not at risk were divided into 3 subgroups allocated at random to different treatments based on subcutaneous heparin in effective or sub-anticoagulant doses with and without stocking. All patients underwent phlebography before and 7 days after the operation. The incidence of post-operative thrombosis was significantly lower in the 137 patients treated with heparin and stocking (10.22 per cent) than in the 131 patients treated with heparin alone (19.85 per cent).
