Keywords
Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy, Tranexamic Acid
Brief summary
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the effects of administering intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) to patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) to minimize hemarthrosis within the knee joint and post operative pain and swelling.
Detailed description
Not Provided
Interventions
One gram of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) will be administrated before tourniquet inflation and before closure of the incision, as 1 g has been shown to be a safe amount with minimal side effects

Inclusion criteria
* Patients undergoing TTO * Age 18-60 * Willing and able to provide consent
Exclusion criteria
* Legally incompetent or mentally impaired (e.g., minors, Alzheimer's subjects, dementia, etc.) * Younger than 18 years of age * Older than 60 years of age * Any patient considered a vulnerable subject * Have bleeding or clotting disorder * Preoperative anticoagulation therapy * Abnormal coagulation profile * Renal disorder or insufficiency * Sickle cell disease
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Perioperative Blood Loss | Perioperative, up to 2 hours |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Score on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain | Day 1 | VAS will be used to report post-operative pain. A patient is asked to indicate his/her perceived pain intensity (most commonly) along a 10 mm horizontal line, and this rating is then measured from the left edge (=VAS score). The total score range is 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable); the higher the score, the worse the pain. |
