Prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism with low-molecular-weight heparins in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery is currently initiated according to at least 3 different regimens. In Europe, traditionally, prophylaxis is started 12 hours before surgery, whereas in North America it is initiated 12 to 48 hours postoperatively. The third regimen (perioperative) begins prophylaxis either earlier than 12 hours before or 12 hours after surgery. Unfortunately, the optimal regimen is uncertain because direct comparisons among these regimens with sufficiently large sample sizes are not available.
