Comparing two ways to give tranexamic acid during hip replacement
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
