Summary

This study looked at whether giving two doses of dexamethasone (a steroid) along with tranexamic acid (a drug to reduce bleeding) before and after hip or knee replacement surgery can help patients recover faster. 92 adults with severe arthritis took part. Researchers measured pain, fatigue, joint movement, inflammation levels, and how long people stayed in the hospital. The goal was to see if this combination improves recovery without major side effects.
