Ultrasonography were obtained using the Aplio MX (CANON Medical Systems Corporation), the Prosound F75 (FUJIFILM Healthcare Corporation), and the ARIETTA 850 (FUJIFILM Healthcare Corporation) with the linear probe.
Bilateral lower limb vein ultrasonography was performed preoperatively and postoperatively 1 week after THA. A medical technologist (MT) performed the ultrasonography, another MT confirmed the results. Moreover, the report is finally approved by the cardiologist.
The femoral vein, superficial femoral vein, deep femoral vein, popliteal vein, peroneal vein, anterior tibial vein, posterior tibial vein, SV, large saphenous vein, and small saphenous vein were all examined. In the supine position, we checked the thigh, while in the sitting position, we checked the lower leg beyond the popliteal vein. Thrombus screening was performed in B mode using the compression and Doppler methods. When an intravenous thrombus image and intravascular noncompression findings were observed, a thrombus-positive diagnosis was made when an intravenous thrombus image and intravascular noncompression findings were observed15 (link).
