Summary
Recently, there has been interest in applying tranexamic acid topically before the closure of
surgical wounds in total hip replacement. It has the advantages of ease of application,
maximum concentration at the site of bleeding, minimising its systematic absorption and,
potentially , decline the risks for systematic side-effects 。
