Core Tip	This study evaluated whether switching to a weight-based low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) regimen with morning-of-surgery dosing affects early prosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates in hip hemiarthroplasty patients. No statistically significant difference in early PJI rates was observed between the standard and modified LMWH protocols. These findings suggest that LMWH dose escalation does not significantly impact early PJI risk, though larger studies are warranted.
