Abstract:Background:
The aim of the study is to detect whether platelet rich plasma (PRP) is equal to tranexemic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss and transfusion rates following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and compare clinical outcomes, complications, and cost effectiveness between the two groups. This is one of the first randomized, controlled trials that compare both materials in elective knee arthroplasty.
Methods:
120 patients were randomized. Postoperat… Show more
