One vs. two doses of bleeding medicine in hip fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving one dose of a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) works as well as two doses during hip fracture surgery. It may help people who need surgery for a broken hip near the thigh bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older.
- You must have a specific type of hip fracture (either pertrochanteric or subtrochanteric).
- Surgery must happen within 48 hours of being admitted to the hospital.
- You cannot have a known allergy to tranexamic acid.
- You cannot have had a blood clot, heart attack, or stroke in the past year.
- You cannot have severe kidney problems or be on certain blood thinners that haven't been stopped in time.

This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.
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 study compares two ways of giving a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) during total hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which method is better at reducing blood loss during and after the operation.
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 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.
