Abstract
The present study revealed that the incidence of DVT following TKA was significantly lower in RA patients than in those with OA. However, when the patients were matched for age and NSAID use, the incidence of DVT was equivalent in the two groups. These findings may allow us to reconsider a prophylactic regimen for venous thromboembolism in patients with RA.
