The effects of prophylactic administration of tranexamic acid on the operative time and the amount of blood transfused during open fixation of pelvis and acetabulum fractures

Among the variables, the amount of intraoperative bleeding emerged as the most correlated element, which strongly suggests that in managing open reduction internal fixation surgeries performed for pelvis and acetabulum fractures, intraoperative bleeding should be considered as the crucial factor. Therefore, the administration of TXA, by effectively reducing the amount of intraoperative bleeding, should be considered as an essential tool for orthopedic surgeons.
