| Data collection method | Collection during the hospitalization of patients in 2 steps: at the inclusion and at the time when released from the department. Collection of data concerning the occurrence of complications (VTE and/or major bleeding) after being released from the department. Data collection will be carried out by the investigating physicians approximately 6 weeks after treatment initiation, at the time of a follow-up consultation in orthopedic surgery or otherwise, a telephone interview. In parallel, during the entire period of inclusion, the investigating physicians will list all patients eligible for the study in a register.
