Abstract
The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the efficacy of warfarin prophylaxis against deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) vs total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A review of venograms in 223 patients with THA and in 189 cases of TKA was carried out. The overall DVT rate in THA was 22%. The overall DVT rate in TKA was 46%. We conclude that combined or alternate methods need to be used to decrease the rate of DVT following TKA to that of THA.
