Asymptomatic DVT occurs frequently early after THR with dextran; leaves open optimal screening timing in observational data.

What is the incidence and natural history of asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis after total hip replacement in patients receiving dextran thromboprophylaxis?
Asymptomatic distal deep vein thrombosis is common early after total hip replacement but frequently undergoes spontaneous thrombolysis during the first postoperative week, highlighting the importance of timing in DVT screening.
Høgevold et al. (1990) conducted a cohort in Deep vein thrombosis after total hip replacement (n=62). Total hip replacement under dextran thromboprophylaxis was evaluated on Incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on the second postoperative day. Deep vein thrombosis was detected by venography in 33.9% of patients on the second postoperative day after total hip replacement under dextran thromboprophylaxis.
