New bleeding combo for hip surgery shows promise
NCT ID NCT07610863
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving tranexamic acid (a medicine that reduces bleeding) both through an IV and directly into the hip joint during hip replacement surgery can safely lower blood loss. 58 adults having elective hip replacement took part. The goal was to see if the combined method works better than IV alone without raising the risk of blood clots.
