Randomized Controlled TrialIs tranexamic acid safe and reliable during tibial intramedullary nailing?
The aim of this study was to determine if the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) during intramedullary reaming treatment for tibial diaphyseal fractures was safe, reduced blood loss, or affected cost effectiveness. ⋯ The application of intravenous TXA during the preoperative period in the treatment of tibial fractures with intramedullary nailing reduced the bleeding seen in the postoperative period. It did not lead to intravascular thrombosis in the postoperative period, and had no adverse effect on bone healing.
