What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the necessity of elastic restraints in preventing venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after hip and knee replacement surgery. These serious complications can be potentially prevented, but the benefits of using elastic compression devices alongside pharmacological treatment remain unclear. The study investigates whether using medication alone is as effective as combining medication with elastic restraints in these surgeries. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving pharmacological thromboprophylaxis combined with elastic compression restraints, and the other receiving only pharmacological thromboprophylaxis without elastic compression. The study will assess outcomes up to 90 days after prosthetic surgery to compare these approaches. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the incidence of venous thromboembolic events on days 1, 21, and 90 post-surgery. Quality of life will also be evaluated at these time points. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track safety and effectiveness over the three-month period following their surgery.
