A study population with greater homogeneity was selected to minimize confounding variables related to fracture and fixation methods that may reflect an accurate result.
Materials And Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial including 100 patients who received either 15 mg/kg of TXA added to 40 mL saline twice separated by 3 hours interval or a similar volume of normal saline (~50 mL twice in same manner) intravenously.
