Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still a major challenge after major orthopaedic surgery, including total knee replacement (TKR). The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of VTE with aspirin-only pharmacologic prophylaxis following primary TKR surgery versus direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC).

Background: The adverse effects of aspirin are dose-dependent, and there is controversy surrounding the use of low-dose (LD) aspirin to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This meta-analysis sought to compare the efficacy and complication rate of low-dose (162 mg per day) versus high-dose (HD, 650 mg per day) aspirin after TJA surgery.
Methods: In four main databases, we searched from inception until September 2024 for articles comparing the rate of VTE following TJA(TKA/THA) using only aspirin chemoprophylaxis with different dosages.
