Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in an Asian population without using chemical prophylaxis.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 542 Hong Kong Chinese patients, employing mechanical methods like pneumatic compression and compression stockings, along with a fast-track rehab approach.
- Findings showed a low incidence of VTE (1.1%), indicating that mechanical prophylaxis alone is a safe option for standard-risk Asian patients undergoing THA.
