Mean Decrease in HB Level after Intra-Articular Tranexamic Acid Injection in Total Hip Arthplasty (THA)

Aim: to determine the mean decrease in hb level after intra-articular tranexamic acid injection in total hip arthplasty (tha) study duration: from: september 2015 to march 2016 setting: department of orthopaedics,jinnah hospital,lahore results: in our study,out of 60 cases,22(36.67%) were between 18-50 years of age while 38(63.33%) were between 51-80 years of age,mean±sd was calculated as 55.88±7.52 years,19(31.67%) were male while 41(68.33%) were females,mean hb level before treatment was calculated as 11.98±0.75 g/dl,mean hb level after treatment was calculated as 10.62±0.87 g/dl,mean decrease of hb level after treatment was calculated as 1.36±0.48 g/dl,p value was calculated as 0.0001 showing a significant difference. conclusion: we concluded that intra-articular tranexamic acid injection is effective and useful for controlling the blood loss in total hip arthplasty.
