Comparison of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid versus Combined Intravenous and Local Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid in Reducing Perioperative Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Primary Unilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomised Clinical Study
Abstract:Introduction: The use of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in primary unilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is well documented. However, considering the potential side effects including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, the ideal route of administration of TXA to patients undergoing THA is still not known.
