[Hip near osteosynthesis, total hip replacement and prevention of thromboembolism (author's transl)]. 1979

H Freick, and W Graeser, and W Hollmann, and M Drvendzija

The effect of physiotherapy and pharmacological treatment in preventing thromboembolic disease at hip-near operations was compared from 1971 to 1978 in 787 patients being more than 60 years old. Physiotherapy alone and its completion by Dextran and Acetyl-salicylic-acid turned out to be insufficient. It was only by low-dose Heparin in combination with Dihydroergotamin (Dihydergot) and continuing physiotherapy that the rate of thromboembolism could be lowered effectively.

D006493	Heparin	A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
