Abstract

Background: Long-term anticoagulant therapy is essential in joint replacement patients to 
prevent thromboembolic events but may adversely affect bone health. This study evaluates the 
impact of warfarin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), and direct oral anticoagulants 
(DOACs) on bone mineral density (BMD).
