This research investigates the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in minimizing blood loss in orthopedic trauma cases, particularly in pelvic fractures.
Literature review on clinical trials, research studies, and meta-analyses evaluating TXA application in orthopedic trauma.
Assessment focused on pelvic and hip fractures, long bone fractures, and polytrauma from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
TXA significantly decreases blood loss and the need for blood transfusions during surgeries, particularly when administered soon after injury.
TXA is safe as it does not increase the risk of thromboembolic events.

Discussion
