Bleeding medicine during hip or knee replacement
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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 tests whether putting tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) directly into the bone during knee replacement surgery can reduce blood loss. It may help people recover with less need for blood transfusions.
This study looks at whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) by mouth for a few days after knee or hip replacement surgery can reduce blood loss and the need for transfusions. If you are having one of these surgeries for arthritis, this trial aims to improve your recovery.
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 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 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 trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) for several days after knee replacement surgery reduces bleeding and improves recovery. It may help patients who have a standard knee replacement and are not on blood thinners.
