The Efficacy of Combined Use of Rivaroxaban and Tranexamic Acid on Blood Conservation in Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty a Double-Blind Randomized, Controlled Trial

Systemic administration of TXA can effectively reduce the postoperative blood loss which results in lower rate of transfusion requirement and wound hematoma in minimally invasive TKA patients when rivaroxaban is used for thromboprophylaxis. Rivaroxaban has a high rate of bleeding complications when used alone in TKA patients.
