Summary
Asian populations have a lower rate of high-risk gene mutations of venous thrombosis, which
means a reasonable perioperative anticoagulant management after hip or knee arthroplasty for
Caucasian populations may be too excessive for Asians. So, individual patient risk
assessment, rather than a "blanket policy", is considered the best thromboembolism
prophylaxis for Asians.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety
of selective thromboembolism prophylaxis compared with conventional thromboembolism
prophylaxis by risk stratification with thromboelastography (TEG) after joint arthroplasty
for Asian populations.
