Reducing Hemarthrosis in Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy by the Administration of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid

August 25, 2022 updated by: NYU Langone Health
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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)
Drug: Tranexamic Acid (TXA)
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
Active Comparator: Tibial Tubercle Ostetomy (TTO)
Drug: Tranexamic Acid (TXA)
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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Perioperative Blood Loss
Time Frame: Perioperative, up to 2 hours
Perioperative, up to 2 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Score on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain
Time Frame: 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.
Day 1
Score on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain
Time Frame: Day 4
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.
Day 4
Score on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain
Time Frame: Day 7
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.
