2012
Abstract Introduction Oral thromboprophylaxis with dabigatran etexilate should be initiated as a half dose 1 to 4 h after major orthopaedic surgery. However, a delay in dosing could occur for clinical or logistical reasons. A post hoc analysis was carried out to determine if patients with delayed dosing received adequate anticoagulation.
