“…The reported incidence worldwide ranges from 35% ± 60% [2 ± 5, 9, 11, 15, 16], with a 0.5 ± 7% incidence of fatal pulmonary embolism [6,14]. Our results cannot be compared directly with those from the Western world because of the difference in variables of age and sex.…”

“…6,26,34 The rates of proximal venous thrombi after total hip arthroplasty have been reported to range from 14% to 29%. 14,44,45,92,93,99 With regard to proximal thrombosis, patients who underwent a total hip arthroplasty have been shown to be at greater risk for DVT compared with patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Unlike total hip arthroplasty, the development of a DVT in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty commonly occurs in the deep veins of the calf; however, propagation of a calf thrombosis to a more proximal location in the popliteal or femoral veins is also known to occur.…”

Due to the high incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following orthopaedic surgery, DVT prophylaxis is imperative. Because of the morbidity associated with these complications, it is essential to provide prophylaxis for DVT as well as pulmonary embolism. Currently there are various prophylactic modalities available to the clinician, involving both chemical and mechanical forms of treatment. Unlike, current forms of chemoprophylaxis, which are not without their associated side effects and costs, mechanical treatments have been shown to be both safe and effective. Previous studies have shown mechanical compression devices to be efficacious in reducing the rate of DVT after orthopaedic surgery. These compression devices vary according to the location of the sleeve and bladder, frequency and duration of activation rate, rate of pressure rise, maximum pressure achieved, and simultaneous versus sequential compression. Moreover, pneumatic compression devices are further categorized as foot pumps and calf-thigh pumps, of which some are single chamber whereas others are sequential chambers with a number of compartments. This chapter discusses the specifications of the mechanical devices in relation to their clinical efficacy as well as the effects on venous hemodynamics and physiology.

The method of canal preparation and lavage is of paramount importance to reduce the potential embolic load. Additionally, thorough cleaning of the intramedullary cavity (using jet lavage) improves the cement penetration into the bone and increases the shear strength of the bone-cement interface. Modern cementing techniques include the use of high pulsatile lavage, a cement restrictor and cement pressurization. With the application of these techniques a sufficient drainage of the medullary canal should be guaranteed to minimise the risk for thromboembolic complications. During the insertion of cementless implants the intravasation of embolic material seems to be less, but it is likewise possible to have a thromboembolic complication during cementless THA. However, it is not justified as a consequence to use the thromboembolic risk as the main indication for implant choice, in particular as the overall risk of a serious fatal complication is low.
