Abstract
Deep-vein thrombosis was found by phlebography in 60.3 per cent of 58 patients with fracture of the upper end of the femur. The incidence was higher on the left side. Thrombus was detected in the uninjured leg in many cases, and therefore the need for bilateral investigation is emphasized.
The convenience of the radioactive fibrinogen test and ultrasound technique for detecting thrombosis in patients has been widely accepted, but we also consider that phlebography, using a portable radiograph machine, is a valuable and easy method for the detection of deep-vein thrombosis in seriously ill patients.
