Abstract:
The authors examine one of the methods used to avoid homologous blood transfusion in patients submitted to cemented hip arthroplasty. Although the series is not a numerous one (25 cases) it does show that even the pre-deposit of single unit of autologous blood is capable of eliminating the need for homologous blood transfusion in 96% of all cases.
