Extended TXA After Hip or Knee Replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
