Additional intraarticular tranexamic acid further reduced postoperative blood loss compared to intravenous and topical bathed tranexamic acid in total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective sequential series study

摘要

BACKGROUND: Topical tranexamic acid (TXA) administration has been described to be effective in decreasing blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether topical intraarticular TXA administration in addition to intravenous (IV) and topical bathed TXA further reduces blood loss in THA patients.
