The Dynamics of D-dimer Level Fluctuation in Patients after the Cemented and Cementless Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement
Journal Title: Orthopaedics and Surgical Sports Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The number of total hip and total knee replacement procedures performed worldwide has tended to surge in recent years, due to the combination of such factors as the increased life expectancy, improved quality of life, advances in medical technology as well as pre-operative and post-operative patient management. Numerous studies confirm that patients undergoing major orthopedics procedures involving lower extremities, for instance total hip and total knee replacement, constitute the highest risk group for the development of post-operative venous thromboembolism [VTE], primarily manifested as deep vein thrombosis [DVT].
