Popis: Ninety-nine patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were prospectively studied for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity. Eighty-three hips in 42 THA patients and 107 knees in 57 TKA patients were studied with noninvasive color duplex Doppler ultrasound flow scanning and ascending venography 3–9 days after surgery. In all patients, surveillance studies were performed within 24 hours. The ultrasonographer and radiologist were blinded to the study. The incidence of DVT was significantly greater following TKA (61%) than THA (17%) ( P P
