Summary
Tranexamic acid has been shown to reduce postoperative blood losses and transfusion
requirements in a number of types of surgery. Most trials in orthopedic surgery have been
conducted in arthroplasty, hip fracture and spine surgeries. This study would aim to see the
effect of tranexamic acid in reduction of blood loss and transfusions for long bone fracture
surgery, primarily fracture shaft of femur.
