Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we compared the safety and efficacy of aspirin with those of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for patients undergoing major orthopedic surgeries leading to significant immobility and necessitating anticoagulants to prevent thromboembolic events.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from the inception to April 20, 2024, to identify clinical trials and randomized controlled trials comparing the effect of aspirin and LMWH on deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), venous thromboembolism (VTE), major bleeding, short-term postoperative mortality, and adherence to treatment. VTE included DVT and PE in this study.
