Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in decreasing the need for blood transfusions in patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS).
- Conducted as a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 200 participants, it compared one group receiving TXA to a placebo group, monitoring hemoglobin levels and blood transfusion requirements post-surgery.
- Results showed that the TXA group had a significantly lower blood transfusion rate (13%) compared to the placebo group (41%), indicating that TXA is effective in reducing the need for allogenic blood transfusions in this patient population.
