Application of thromboelastography in comparing coagulation difference of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis after total hip arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study was to compare the coagulation difference in patients with either rivaroxaban or enoxaparin as thromboprophylaxis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) regarding thromboelastography (TEG) and routine coagulation tests. Two hundred and twenty-eight patients undergoing primary THA were recruited in this study. They were divided into two groups according to a computer-generated random sequence.

Tourniquet use in primary total knee arthroplasty is associated with a hypercoagulable status: a prospective thromboelastography trial.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether the use of a tourniquet changes the blood coagulation state following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by means of conventional coagulation tests and thromboelastography (TEG) analyses.

Methods: A total of 154 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA from January 2018 to October 2020 were enrolled.

Does subcutaneous administration of recombinant human erythropoietin increase thrombotic events in total hip arthroplasty? A prospective thrombelastography analysis.

Background: Anemia is one of severe complications in the perioperative period of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Erythropoietin (EPO) has been considered to improve patients' anemia state, but its efficiency and safety remains controversial.

Methods: A total of 152 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty from January 2017 to March 2019 were randomized to 2 groups.
