✦ Synopsis

We have used ultrasound after 84 total hip replacements to define the site and size of any haematoma present. Repeated examination after operation indicated when the haematoma had occurred. We have demonstrated that two suction drains were more effective than one in preventing haematomas around the prosthesis in the first week after operation. The early detection of a haematoma allows rational treatment which should reduce the risk of deep infection.
