Treatment of anaemia after joint replacement. A double-blind, randomised,
controlled trial of ferrous sulphate versus placebo.

After total hip and knee replacement arthroplasty, patients may become anaemic
and may be prescribed oral iron. There is, however, no published evidence that
this is of benefit when used postoperatively. We treated 72 patients who were
anaemic after primary total hip and knee arthroplasty by randomly allocating
them to receive six weeks of either oral ferrous sulphate (35 patients) or a
placebo (37 patients). Both groups of patients were similar in all aspects
except for the treatment given. There was no statistically significant
difference in the change of haemoglobin levels between the two groups. We
therefore believe that the prescription of iron to all anaemic patients
post-operatively should be avoided. The level of serum ferritin should be
monitored at preoperative assessment.
