Tranexamic acid for bleeding during hip replacement surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
