Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Deep vein thrombosis is a common complication after hip replacement. With the extensive application of the hip replacement, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis is gradually increased.
OBJECTIVE: To study the risk factors and mechanism of deep vein thrombosis after hip replacement as well as the effect of drug treatment, in order to provide better prevention and treatment options for clinical patients.
METHODS: The patients with hip replacement were followed-up to analyze the incidence rate and related risk factors of deep vein thrombosis. The expressions of inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules before and after hip replacement were detected with immunohistochemical detection method to identify the mechanism of deep vein thrombosis, and give the low molecular weight heparin for prevention and treatment as well as to indentify the application effect of prevention and treatment.
RESULTS AND CONSLUSION: Elderly, females, obesity, bilateral hip replacement, general anesthesia in the treatment, application of bone cement prosthesis, long-time bed rest, merged with various metabolic diseases are the risk factors of deep vein thrombosis after hip replacement. Most studies have shown that O-blood type is the protective factor. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules can indicate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis after hip replacement. Low molecular weight heparin can reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis after hip replacement, which has a good effect in the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis.
