New study tests if injecting drug into bone works better than IV during joint replacement
NCT ID NCT07614087
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 80 people having hip or knee replacement surgery to compare two ways of giving a drug called tranexamic acid, which helps reduce bleeding. Half will get the drug through a standard IV, and the other half will get it injected into the bone. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and check blood loss and clotting to see which method works better.
