Aspirin as effective as heparin after fracture to prevent blood clots
Outcomes similar in both groups in terms of death and pulmonary embolism, study shows
Aspirin may be as effective as injections of low-molecular-weight heparin when it comes to preventing clots following surgery for fractures, a large study suggests.
The US research included more than 12,000 patients with arm or leg fractures that required surgery or pelvic fractures regardless of treatment.
