Dimolegin® (60 mg) Given Once Daily in Patients Undergoing Total Hip or Knee Replacement Compared to Enoxaparin

Brief Summary
This clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the anticoagulant Dimolegin® compared to low molecular weight heparin (Clexane®) for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in patients undergoing major joint (hip or knee) replacement surgery. The study will assess the incidence of VTE, VTE-related mortality, and all-cause mortality during different follow-up periods in both treatment groups. Additionally, the study will evaluate the frequency of bleeding events and the incidence, number, and characteristics of all adverse events associated with Dimolegin® and Clexane® therapy.
