Abstract
The Dynamics of D-dimer Level Fluctuation in Patients after the Cemented and Cementless Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement
Highlights
The number of total hip and total knee replacement procedures performed worldwide has tended to surge in recent years, due to the combination of such factors as the increased life expectancy, improved quality of life, advances in medical technology as well as pre-operative and post-operative patient management
Numerous studies confirm that patients undergoing major orthopedics procedures involving lower extremities, for instance total hip and total knee replacement, constitute the highest risk group for the development of post-operative venous thromboembolism [VTE], primarily manifested as deep vein thrombosis [DVT]
The purpose of the research was to assess the dynamics of D-dimer level fluctuation during the post-operative period in patients after the cemented or cementless total hip replacement [THR] or total knee replacement [TKR], in order to prove or reject the thesis that the cemented and cementless total hip replacement [THR] or total knee replacement [TKR] affects the post-operative D-dimer levels
