The National Blood Clot Alliance developed the "Stop the Clot Patient Toolkit" for knee and hip replacement patients.
Here are four quick notes:
1. Knee and hip surgery may contribute to blood clot development.
2. The toolkit includes a fact sheet about blood clot risk related to hip and knee surgery.
3. Patients also learn about prevention and treatment options for blood clots, as well as symptoms.
4. The kit also provides patients with a total knee replacement patient story.
