Thrombo-embolic Complications

  • Chapter
Book cover Low Friction Arthroplasty of the Hip

Abstract

An important function of the two-channel system for recording post-operative complications at Wrightington (Chap. 2) is the monitoring of various forms of prophylaxis against thrombo-em-bolism (TE). More than 1000 arthroplasties are performed each year at Wrightington, in reasonably controlled circumstances, so that the situation is very favourable for establishing clinical trials of different prophylactic agents.
