Early TXA treatment for adult hip fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a blood-clot-reducing medicine (TXA) early after an adult hip fracture helps reduce bleeding and related problems around surgery. It may help some patients getting operative fixation by improving safety during recovery.

This trial tests a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) given right before major colorectal surgery to see if it helps reduce bleeding. If it works, it could make surgery safer for people like you.
This study tests if a medicine called TXA (tranexamic acid), which helps blood clot, is safe to use during bone fracture surgery. It may help prevent bleeding problems.
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 tests whether taking tranexamic acid (TXA) pills after hip replacement can reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions. It is for people having a first-time hip replacement due to severe arthritis who stay one night in the hospital.
This trial tests whether taking a longer course of a medication called TXA after joint replacement surgery can help prevent bleeding. TXA is a medicine that helps blood clot, and the goal is to see if taking it for more days reduces the need for blood transfusions.
This study tests whether a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) can help control bleeding in trauma patients. It uses a special blood test (thromboelastography) to monitor how well your blood clots during treatment.
