EFFECT OF MECHANICAL COMPRESSION ON THE PREVALENCE OF PROXIMAL DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS AS ASSESSED BY MAGNETIC RESONANCE VENOGRAPHY

On the basis of this study, we concluded that patients managed with total hip arthroplasty benefit from a reduction in the rates of femoral and pelvic deep vein thrombosis when they are treated with hypotensive epidural anesthesia, mechanical compression, and aspirin and are subsequently assessed with magnetic resonance venography.
