Combination of intravenous and topical TXA improves outcomes following primary TKA .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2015;3(6):8 J Arthroplasty. 2014 Dec;29(12):2342-6.184 patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to one of two tranexamic acid groups: an intravenous administration group, or a combined topical and intravenous administration group. Patients in the intravenous group were given 3g of tranexamic acid (TXA) intravenously during surgery. Those in the combined group had a solution composed of 1.5g of TXA and 50mL of normal saline irrigated into the wound after component implantation, and were also given 1.5g of TXA intravenously during surgery. Factors such as blood loss, transfusion rate, swelling ratio, and pain were assessed and compared between groups in the perioperative period up to 4 days. The results demonstrated significant effects of combined administration on maximum hemoglobin drop, postoperative blood loss to drain, pain on postoperative days 2-3, swelling on postoperative days 2-4, and satisfaction upon discharge.
