The incidence of venous thromboembolism is low when risk stratification-based thromboprophylaxis is used after fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty

Abstract Background The optimal length of thromboprophylaxis after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) is unknown. Fast-track protocols have improved patient care and led to shorter immobilization and length of stay (LOS) after THA and TKA, thereby diminishing venous thromboembolism (VTE) r...
