Conditions

Heterotopic ossification after elbow joint fracture

Interventions

Group A (TXA group):5~10 minutes before skin incision, TXA (BaiLing, Chongqing, NMPA approval number H20031101, 100 mL:1 g) was intravenously infused at a dose of 20mg/kg, and 1 g of TXA was intraveno
Group B (indomethacin group):Postoperatively, the patients were given oral sustained-release indomethacin capsules once daily, with a dose of 75mg per capsule for a total duration of 6 weeks.
Group C (TXA+indomethacin group): intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid (TXA) (Beining, Chongqing, National Medicine Approval No. H20031101, 100 mL:1 g) at a dose of 20mg/kg 5-10 minutes before skin
