Introduction: The use of hip arthroscopy has been widely increasing. Although deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is thought to be a serious complication of orthopaedic surgery, there were few reports discussing DVT related to hip arthroscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of DVT related to hip arthroscopic surgery.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 72 patients. Clinical diagnosis of DVT was confirmed through ultrasonography performed preoperatively and 3 days postoperatively. Additionally, D-dimer levels were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7. Age, body mass index, operation time, procedure type, and D-dimer levels were statistically compared between the two groups (identified DVT vs. no identified DVT).
Results: Five patients (6.94 %) were diagnosed with DVT clinically, although all cases were asymptomatic. The mean age of the patients with identified DVT was 62.0 ± 6.1 years; significantly higher than the mean age of the patients without DVT (45.1 ± 1.7 years; P = 0.0188).
Conclusion: The incidence of DVT during hip arthroscopy, investigated by ultrasound, was 6.94 %. From our results, we recommend screening for and treatment of asymptomatic DVT, especially in older patients, during hip arthroscopic surgery.

Background: Despite advances in surgical techniques and postoperative prophylactic protocols, venous thromboembolism (VTE) events remain an important source of morbidity following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Prior research in cardiology and other surgical fields has suggested that statin medications may have a protective effect against VTE. Our study aimed to: 1) Assess if preoperative statin use was associated with decreased rates of VTE following THA, and 2) conduct a subgroup analysis of statin intensity and VTE events.

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.

Background: Hip fractures are prevalent orthopaedic injuries with substantial morbidity and mortality. Failed primary treatments of these fractures often necessitate conversion to total hip arthroplasty (CTHA); a complex procedure requiring extensive exposure and hardware removal. It poses major challenges and is associated with high rates of complications such as infection, dislocation, and periprosthetic fractures.

Background: Recent literature indicates that COVID-19 infection is a negative predictor of good outcomes following elective orthopedic surgery. However, the ideal timing of surgery after infection is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of post-operative complications between those who underwent elective orthopedic surgery <50 days and >50 days after COVID-19 infection.

Background: Deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity is a common and fatal complication of hip fracture in the elderly. However, there is a lack of targeted laboratory diagnostic methods. Although traditional laboratory indicators can provide some reference, the diagnostic efficiency is relatively limited This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracies of thromboelastography (TEG) combined with traditional coagulation parameters for early diagnosis of newly occurring lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly patients with hip fractures.
