Tolerability to enoxaparine for DVT prophylaxis in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty

Abstract

From April 1994 to August 1995, thirty consecutive patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty were managed with enoxaparine; in order to evaluate the prophylactic effect of low molecular weight heparin in high risk patients. Patients who were not having appropriate criteria for the usage of enoxaparine excluded from the study. There were 12 (%40) females and 18 (60) males with a mean age of 50.38 (range 40-78). Primary osteoarthritis in 22, rheumatoid arthritis in 6, and dysplastic hip in 2 patients were the indications of total hip replacement. Age, sex, height, weight, total biochemical analysis of each patient and schedule for drug were noted. First dose of enoxaparine was administered 12 hours before the operation and 0.4 ml (40 mg) daily dose was continued up to postoperative eleventh day. Pain, local allergic reactions, haematoma in the injection site and abnormal bleeding from the operation site were followed. No DVT or complication of injection was observed. As a result, prophylaxis of DVT with daily 40 mg of enoxaparine is a feasible, safe and effective procedure in high risk patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty.
