Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo

The patients who receive placebo form the control group. The results can be compared with the results of the patients who did receive TXA

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

The patients will receive 3g topical TXA for 15 minutes or 2 hours after THA. 33% of the patients will receive 3g of TXA trough a suction drain for 15 minutes after total hip arthroplasty, then the suction drain is opened. 33% will receive the same amount of TXA but the suction drain will only be opened 2 hours after application. The other patients will receive a placebo in the same manner

Tranexamic acid

The patients will receive 3g topical TXA for 15 minutes or 2 hours after THA. 33% of the patients will receive 3g of TXA trough a suction drain for 15 minutes after total hip arthroplasty, then the suction drain is opened. 33% will receive the same amount of TXA but the suction drain will only be opened 2 hours after application. The other patients will receive a placebo in the same manner

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Tranexamic Acid

Intervention Type DRUG

3g of tranexamic acid is topically applied after THA. The drugs is left for 15 minutes or 2 hours
