We are excited to announce that the Division of Adult Reconstruction at Duke has been selected as one of 25 institutions to participate in MUSC Health’s PEPPER (Pulmonary Embolism Prevention after Hip and Knee Replacement) trial, which is funded through a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award. The largest of its kind, the PEPPER trial’s goal is to combine information about effectiveness in preventing blood clots in the lungs and legs with the opinions of patients about the safety of the most commonly employed blood thinners. This work will provide background information to help both patients and their surgeons in deciding which blood thinner would be best to use after hip and knee replacement. Read the full story here.
