METHOD OF PREVENTING THROMBOSIS OF DEEP VEINS OF LOWER EXTREMITIES IN CARRYING OUT HIP JOINT ENDOPROSTHETICS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61N1/32 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to physiotherapy. Method includes electroneurostimulation (ENS) of gastrocnemius muscles, intake of direct anticoagulants, wearing elastic stockings. Before operative intervention through applied on both gastrocnemius muscles electrodes individual parameters of intensity of influencing pulse current, characterised by visible contraction of gastrocnemius muscle, are determined. After that, first procedure of gastrocnemius muscle ENS is performed for both extremities. Second ENS procedure is performed in the course of operative intervention only on extremity which is not operated. After finishing operation and termination of anaesthetic effect the following procedure of gastrocnemius muscle ENS is performed on both extremities. Procedures are repeated every 4-6 hours for the following days until patient starts to move independently by means of crutches. Time of ENS procedure constitutes 20 minutes.

EFFECT: method ensures prophylaxis of thrombosis of deep veins of lower extremities in the process of operative intervention due to active impact on muscles of lower extremities.
