Thrombosis following hip arthroplasty. A study using phlebography and 125I-fibrinogen test. 1976

D Bergqvist, and R Elvelin, and U Eriksson, and A Hjelmstedt

Venous thrombosis after hip arthroplasty was studied using the 125I-fibrinogen test and phlebography. Eight out of ten dextran-treated and six out of ten control patients developed thrombosis. The thrombi were small and most frequently dorsal and dorso-lateral veins were involved. There were no thigh thrombi without concurrent calf thrombi. Half of the thrombi were found within the first postoperative week whereas the remainder occurred later. Preoperative venous pathology predisposed to postoperative thrombosis.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
