[Thromboembolic disease in orthopedic surgery].
Thromboembolic complications are frequent after orthopaedic surgery of the limbs. Strategies to minimize these complications go from recognize the risk factors of the patient to introduce new antithrombotic drugs, and including general medical care, regional anaesthesia and early mobilization. Based in epidemiological studies, prophylaxis must be extended 4-6 weeks in total hip and knee arthroplasty and in surgery of the hip fracture.
