Combination of Intravenous and Intra‐Articular Application of Tranexamic Acid and Epsilon‐Aminocaproic Acid in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Objective There were limited randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of epsilon‐aminocaproic acid (EACA) versus tranexamic acid (TXA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of TXA and EACA in the combination of intravenous (IV) and intra‐articular (IA) administration on reducing blood loss in patients following primary TKA. Methods From January 2020 to January 2021, a total of 181 patients undergoing a primary unilateral TKA were enrolled in this prospective r… Show more
