[Thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin insufficient in high-risk pregnancy].
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis with a low of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in women with an intermediate to high risk of pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism (VTE). ⋯ There was a considerable risk of pregnancy-related VTE in high-risk women despite a prophylactic dose of LMWH during pregnancy and in the post partum period. For these women thromboprophylaxis with a low, prophylactic dose of LMWH appeared to be insufficient.

Case Reports[Fractures of the hamate bone and metacarpal bone: a rare combination].
Fractures of the hamate bone are rare, but are being seen more frequently due to the increasing popularity of racket sports and golf. ⋯ On conventional X-rays, 60% of wrist fractures are missed. If the clinical picture indicates a fracture of the hamate bone but conventional X-rays reveal no abnormalities then a supplementary CT-scan is advisable. Non-displaced fractures, or fractures with little displacement, can be treated conservatively, but surgical treatment is preferred in the case of displacement or non-union.
