Comparison of Different Thromboprophylaxis Regimens in Elderly Patients Following Hip Arthroplasty.
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

Department of Osteoarthritis, Yantai City Yantai Shan Hospital, Yantai, Shandong, China.
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) represents a significant postoperative complication after artificial femoral head replacement, with the incidence increasing proportionally with patient age. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early postoperative use of intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPC), followed by the combined use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) after 48 hours, for the prevention of postoperative lower limb DVT in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. The retrospective study included 100 elderly patients who underwent unilateral femoral head replacement.

Cilostazol has previously been shown to reduce liver steatosis and enhance hepatic perfusion. We investigated the effects of cilostazol after major hepatectomy in a steatotic rat model. Six weeks prior to surgery, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-fructose diet.

Background: Breast reconstruction with the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) free flap has become the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. Flap take-back to the operating room (OR) is an uncommon but difficult situation, requiring prompt and accessible resources. We conducted a literature review and independent expert review to inform evidence-based perioperative algorithms in the event of DIEP flap compromise.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Baoding First Central Hospital, Baoding, 071000, China.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety profiles of rivaroxaban compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in managing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) subsequent to thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery.
Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group comprising 30 patients treated with rivaroxaban, and the control group consisting of 30 patients treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The fundamental clinical characteristics of patients in both groups were documented, encompassing parameters, along with pre- and post-surgical lower limb vascular ultrasound findings.
Predictors of Venous Thromboembolism Following Geriatric Distal Femur Fracture Fixation: Are These Patients at Higher Risk Compared With Hip Fracture Patients?
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) following injury and subsequent fixation of a distal femur fracture (DFFx) is associated with considerable morbidity. However, the incidence of VTE, associated factors, and the relative risk compared with hip fracture (HFx) fixation remains poorly characterized.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study using the PearlDiver M165 database to identify geriatric patients who underwent DFFx and HFx fixation.
