Incidence Of Deep Vein Thrombosis In Patients With Fracture Around Hip: A Prospective Study Using Serial Colour Doppler Ultrasound
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The incidence of DVT in Asian countries has been presumed to be low and is not comparable to the western literature. Method: The current article is based on a prospective study carried out on 95 Indian patients. All patients undergoing Hip arthroplasty and internal fixation of fractures around hip were enrolled for the study. A pre operative colour Doppler ultrasound was carried out to screen all the patients for pre operative DVT, followed by a postoperative scan on 4th and 10 postoperative day. Results: Seven patients were found to have developed proximal DVT during hospitalization. Five patients was found to have DVT in the injured leg preoperatively. The prevalence of preoperative DVT was 5.26%. The incidence of postoperative DVT was 2.22%. Conclusion: while the incidence of DVT was relatively low in our study still we believe that postoperative DVT is as common in the Indian population as any other parts of the world and routine prophylaxis for DVT in high risk patients should be recommended.
