Key result
Postoperative platelet changes following total hip replacement were not related to the development of deep venous thrombosis, which occurred in 11 of 30 patients.

Platelet monitoring may not predict DVT after hip replacement; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Observational (n=30)
Do postoperative platelet changes correlate with the development of deep venous thrombosis in patients undergoing total hip replacement?
Postoperative platelet activation markers increase after total hip replacement but do not predict the development of deep vein thrombosis.
Páramo et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Total hip replacement (n=30). Postoperative platelet changes was evaluated on Correlation of platelet changes with incidence of deep venous thrombosis. Postoperative platelet changes following total hip replacement were not related to the development of deep venous thrombosis, which occurred in 11 of 30 patients.
