Aspirin matches costlier blood thinners after hip and knee replacement surgery major trial finds

Joint replacements are among the most common surgeries worldwide, and preventing blood clots is critical to recovery. A Dalhousie-led study published this month-one of the most robust of its kind to date-found that a straightforward treatment following surgery may be just as effective as a more complex one, challenging common assumptions in post-surgical care. The results could simplify care and reduce costs across health systems.
