Introduction Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) represents a significant musculoskeletal injury that can affect many patients' mobility and quality of life. Treatment of ATR consists of both conservative and surgical options, with the traditional belief being that surgical intervention reduces the risk of re-rupture. However, with the introduction of physiotherapy-led functional rehabilitation strategies with early mobilization, it has been shown that re-rupture rates are equal among surgical and non-surgical patients.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). Aspirin has gained attention as a cost-effective, safe alternative to traditional anticoagulants like enoxaparin, but comparative data on efficacy and safety remain limited.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of aspirin and enoxaparin in preventing VTE following TKA and THA.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of safflower yellow (SY) combined with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after orthopedic surgery.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive investigation of PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from January 2000 to March 2024. These trials compared the efficacy of SY combined with LMWH versus LMWH alone in preventing post-surgical DVT.
