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.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older
- Your hip fracture was caused by a simple fall (not a car accident or high-energy injury)
- You were able to walk around your home before the injury (with or without help)
- You are scheduled for a hip replacement surgery that doesn't use bone cement
- You are not allergic to the study drug (tranexamic acid)
- You have never had a blood clot in your leg or lung

This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce pain, improve movement, and lessen bleeding after hip or knee replacement surgery. It is for adults having their first joint replacement at St. Mary's Hospital.
This study compares two ways of giving tranexamic acid (a medication that reduces bleeding) during hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see which method—injected directly into the bone or through the vein—works better and reaches the bloodstream more effectively.
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 if taking tranexamic acid (TXA) pills for a week after knee replacement surgery helps reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions. You may qualify if you are having a planned first-time knee replacement with spinal anesthesia and are already scheduled for standard care.
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 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.
