The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of systemic use versus local use of tranexamic acid on blood loss and transfusion requirements in total knee replacement. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an effective hemostatic agent used for the reduction of blood loss and transfusion. However, the safety profile of TXA remains in question due to a potential increased risk of venous thrombosis.","PeriodicalId":385628,"journal":{"name":"American Research Journal of Orthopedics and Traumatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141223794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its association with obesity, the incidence of SCFE is rising due to the concurrent rise in adolescent obesity in America. However, although obesity is the greatest risk factor, other risk factors for SCFE include endocrinopathies (e.g. hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, and hormone therapy), femoral retroversion, and history of radiation to the femoral head.","PeriodicalId":385628,"journal":{"name":"American Research Journal of Orthopedics and Traumatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125203198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
