Tranexamic acid is safe with respect to the risk of deep venous thrombosis in patients with hemophilic arthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty without chemoprophylaxis: A prospective study

Pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis is controversial for hemophiliacs who undergo total joint replacements. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) utilization with respect to the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in hemophiliacs undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
