Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of three different doses ( 110 mg, 150 mg, 220 mg) of BIBR 1048 (Dabigatran etexilate) orally, compared to placebo, in prevention of venous thromboembolism in patient with primary elective total knee replacement surgery, and to evaluate dose-response.
