The Leicester Royal Infirmary is one of the busiest trauma units in the UK. A single accident and emergency department serves a catchment population of 1.1 million and receives 110,000 visits per year, with around 3,000 admissions to acute trauma beds per year. On average, two patients with a fractured neck of femur are admitted every day. Weekend operating lists run every Saturday and Sunday from 8am until 8pm.

SummaryAlthough the oral anticoagulants provide effective prophylaxis against postoperative deep vein thrombosis following fracture of neck of femur there is a need for an antithrombotic agent which needs less laboratory control and does not cause haemorrhagic complications. It has been suggested that drugs causing inhibition of platelet function may fulfil these requirements. A controlled trial was carried out in which aspirin, RA 233, or a combination of these drugs was compared with a placebo in the prevention of post-operative deep vein thrombosis. In thirty patients undergoing surgery for fractured neck of femur the incidence of post-operative calf vein thrombosis, as detected by 125I-fibrinogen scanning, was not significantly different between the untreated and treated groups.
