Abstract
<p class="first" id="d201057e101">The use of tranexamic acid (TEA) can significantly
reduce the need for allogenic blood
transfusions in elective primary joint arthroplasty. Revision total hip arthroplasty
(THA) requires increased utilization of postoperative blood transfusions for acute
blood loss anemia compared with elective primary hip arthroplasty. There is limited
literature to support the routine use of TEA in revision THA.
