Tranexamic acid for children having hip bone surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) can safely help children during certain hip bone operations. It may help lower blood loss around the surgery.

This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid can reduce blood loss during hip surgery in children with cerebral palsy. If it works, the child may lose less blood and recover more smoothly after surgery.
This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA), given as a shot into the hip joint or as a soak on the skin, can reduce bleeding during hip replacement surgery. It is for people over 60 who broke their hip from a simple fall and need a cementless hip replacement.
This study measures how a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) works when given through a needle in the bone versus in a vein during hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help your surgeon choose the best way to control bleeding during your operation.
This trial tests whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine that helps blood clot, reduces death and disability in children who have bleeding after a severe injury. It is given within 3 hours of the injury, and could help children with head or torso trauma who are at risk of serious bleeding.
This study looks at giving a medicine called TXA (tranexamic acid) during surgery to fix broken leg bones, to see if it helps reduce bleeding. It may help you recover better after your operation.
This study tests whether a medication called tranexamic acid can safely reduce blood loss during surgery to straighten the spine in teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis (a curved spine with no known cause). The goal is to help patients need fewer blood transfusions and recover better.
