Effect of no Drainage Tube on Blood Loss and Recovery After High Tibial Osteotomy

Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical combined with intravenous tranexamic acid for high tibial osteotomy without placement of a drainage tube The clinical scores of patients and their possible risks were tracked. The investigators hypothesized that a combination of tranexamic acid and no drainage tube could reduce blood loss and facilitate early recovery. The implementation of the study will provide a new perioperative blood loss control program for High Tibial Osteotomy, reduce the cost of hospitalization, promote patients to get out of bed early, reduce the number of days in hospital.
