Enoxaparin versus No Anticoagulation Prophylaxis after Total Knee Arthroplasty in Thai Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Conclusion: We concluded that the incidence of thromboembolic diseases after primary TKA in Thai patients is very low. Enoxaparin had no significant benefit in reducing venous thromboembolic complications after TKA in Asian patients, however it is safe in term of bleeding complications. We do not recommend routine use of enoxaparin as thromboprophylaxis after TKA in Asian patients. PMID: 29911379 [PubMed - in process]
