Abstract
Ultrasound scan was used to examine 73 patients after total hip replacement. In 39 patients contrast phlebography (distal ascending or retrograde iliocavagraphy) was also performed. Deep vein thrombosis was detected in 14 (19,2%)) patients including proximal (10 patients) and distal (4 patients) thrombosis. Comparison of two methods showed no significant difference in sensitivity and specificity when detecting the proximal deep vein thrombosis. In diagnosis of distal deep vein thrombosis ultrasound scan gave 75%o of sensitivity and 100%o of specificity in comparison to phlebography.
