Abstract
TXA is an effective agent in reducing blood loss in total hip arthroplasty using the anterior approach. The blood conserving effect of TXA was not associated with improved postoperative recovery across the measures of pain and mobility. Administration of TXA may have a positive effect on reducing the duration of inpatient stays.
