Why the study?
What is the prevalence of and contributing factors to DVT and PE in patients undergoing primary cementless THA without thromboprophylaxis?
What is the prevalence of and contributing factors to DVT and PE in patients undergoing primary cementless THA without thromboprophylaxis?
In patients undergoing primary cementless THA without thromboprophylaxis, the absence of thrombophilic polymorphisms and low clinical prothrombotic risk factors resulted in a low prevalence of DVT and no PE.
