Rivaroxaban or Enoxaparin in Nonmajor Orthopedic Surgery

RCT (n=3,604) found that rivaroxaban was more effective than enoxaparin in the prevention of venous thromboembolic events during a period of immobilisation after nonmajor orthopaedic surgery of the lower limbs (0.2% vs 1.1%, RR 0.25, 95%CI 0.09-0.75).
