Summary

The usefulness of tranexamic acid(TXA) to reduce blood loss and transfusion in total knee replacement arthroplasty(TKRA) has been demonstrated. However, the optimal does, duration of treatment and route of administration of TXA to reduce blood loss while minimizing adverse effects remain uncertain. Recently, the serial use of perioperative IV and post-operative oral TXA has been shown to significantly reduce transfusion rate without increasing thromboembolic complications compared to placebo. The aim of this study is to 1) determine the beneficial effect and safety of the serial treatment of IV and oral TXA over IV use alone and 2) assess the sufficient length of postoperative use of oral TXA in TKRA patients.

DRUG

Tranexamic Acid

On the day of operation, same dose of IV tranexamic acid(TXA) is given to all subjects in three study groups. Oral TXA is given from postoperative day 1 only to experimental groups. Duration of oral TXA administration is different between two experimental groups. (5 days in "IV TXA and Oral TXA 5 days group" and 2 days in "IV TXA and Oral TXA 2 days group")
