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.
