Key result
Perioperative management of total hip arthroplasty requires appropriate physical and pharmacological prophylaxis based on patient risk to prevent symptomatic venous thromboembolism.
Why the study?
Symptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism can be a fatal complication following total hip arthroplasty, highlighting the increasing global importance of perioperative venous thromboembolism prevention and management.
This review outlines the current guideline-based strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
