The plasma levels of AT III were studied in 71 patients operated with total hip replacement. AT III was determined with amidolytic assay using the chromogenic substrate Coatest S-2238 (KabiDiagnostica, Sweden) as well as electroimmunochemically. Samples were drawn before the operation and 4-5 times the first week postoperatively. The results were adjusted to the hematocrit (Hcr) for each sample.The patients were randomly allocated to thromboprophylactic prevention with either Macrodex (Pharmacia, Sweden) or heparin with dihydroergotamine (Sandoz, Switzerland). Phlebography of the operated leg and perfusion/ventilation lung scanning was performed on the 10-14th postoperative day.Results. No difference in the AT III levels were seen in patients who developed postoperatively deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE) as compared to those who did not develop DVT/PE.No decrease of AT III was found postoperatively, when adjusted to HcrThe frequency of DVT/PE did not differ significantly between the two types of thromboembolic prophylaxis.Conclusion. Pre-operative determination of AT III, whether biologically or immunochemically, did not seem to be successful as screening method of patients to develop DVT/PE.

This paper describes a simple method to determine stem orientation after total hip replacement. It is based on standard antero-posterior radiographs and computes the angle between prosthesis and film plane from the shortening of predefined distances in the projection. The error of the method is less than 5 per cent for the stem orientation and less than 10 per cent for the neck orientation. The method allows accurate control of stem orientation by means of standard equipment in orthopaedic practice.
