Abstract
The efficacy of small perioperative doses of subcutaneous heparin in preventing deep vein thrombosis has been studied in a controlled clinical trial on 64 patients undergoing elective hip surgery. The results indicate that the regimen of sodium heparin used was safe provided that the correct dose is given. It reduced the frequency of postoperative deep vein thrombosis from 37 to 7 per cent.Keywords
