Abstract EN
Venous thromboembolism is a serious complication after total hip or knee surgery, and there is a well-established clinical need for thromboprophylaxis.
However, in a large number of cases adequate administration of thromboprophylaxis does not seem to occur after total joint arthroplasty.
A major challenge in the management of thromboprophylaxis is to balance the benefits of treatment with the risks, including bleeding complications.
Another potential barrier to the optimal use of thromboprophylaxis could be the inconvenience of currently available agents.
Many surgeons therefore adopt a conservative approach towards thromboprophylaxis.
Simplifying therapy with more convenient, efficacious, and safe anticoagulants could change attitudes to anticoagulant use and improve adherence to thromboprophylactic guidelines.
