[The prevention of postoperative deep venous thrombosis in orthopedic surgery].
In a non-comparative prospective trial, efficacy was studied of the use of clexane (enoxiparin) in the prophylaxis of the lower limb deep vein thrombosis and the pulmonary artery thromboembolism in orthopedic surgery. Enrolled in the study were 48 orthopedic patients. Kinds of operations performed included total hip arthroplasty (n = 40), total knee arthroplasty (n = 2), other challenging orthopedic operations (n = 6). Analysis of results of the treatment having been undergone by the patients revealed no case of thrombosis of lower limb deep veins or hemorrhagic complications. Thus, clexane is an effective and reliable prophylaxis modality for thromboembolic complications in orthopedic surgery.
