The Effect of Active and Early Motion in the Prevention of Deep Venous Thrombosis after Arthroplasty

Abstract

The aim of this prospective study was to compare the effectiveness of propyhlaxis with postoperative early mobilization, compressive stocking and aspirin with an another method done with low molecular weigth heparin, aspirin and compressive stockings which are more expensive than the former one. 100 patient who were planned to undergo elective total hip or knee arthroplasty were divided into two groups randomly. In group I, the propyhlaxis was done with early postoperative mobilization (2nd hour), compressive stocking and fourweek 2x300 mg aspirin. The prophylaxis in group II was mobilization in postoperative 1st day, 10 days course of low molecular weigth heparin, compressive stocking and four-week aspirin. All patients were evaluated by venography or doppler ultrasonography at postoperative 5.-7. days. The proximal thrombus was present in 2 (%4) patients, asymptomatic distal thrombus was detected in 6 patients in group I. There were 1 (%2) patient with proximal DVT, 3 (%6) patients with symptomatic distal DVT and 3 with asymptomatic distal DVT in group II (p>0.05). We conclude that prophylaxis done with postoperative 2nd hour mobilization, compressive stocking and aspirin is an effective and cheap method to prevent thromboembolic complications.
