Povzetek

Patients with hip or knee arthroplasty are at a particularly high risk for venous thromboembolism. However, these events are highly preventable. For thromboprophylaxis we recommend combined mechanical (compression stockings, intermittent pneumatic compression or venous foot compression) and pharmacological (low molecular weight heparin, dabigatran etexilate or rivaroxaban) methods. In this article current guidelines for eff ective and safe thromboprophylaxis for hip and knee arthroplasty are presented.
