Observational analysis shows no significant change in early PJI rates with LMWH during surgery, suggesting further evaluation is needed.
Our results indicate that LMWH dose escalation to a weight-based regimen without withholding the LMWH morning dose on the day of surgery did not lead to a significant change in the rate of early PJI in this study. A larger, multicenter study would be ideal for providing stronger evidence.
