Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical Tranexamic Acid (TA) to reduce the blood transfusion rate in total knee arthroplasty. The secondary endpoints are to estimate the visible blood loss at 24 hours after surgery, and invisible blood loss through serial counting of Hb/Htc. Methodology. TRANEX1 is a phase III, unicentric, controlled, randomized, double blind clinical trial that compare efficacy and safety of topical TA versus intravenous TA in a multimodal protocol, with no-inferiority criteria(n=79).
Detailed Description
The groups will be compared by ITT and PP. The non-inferiority would be estimated by comparing the confidence interval using the traditional test, and Wilson test.

Arms & Interventions
Experimental
1. Topical administration of 3g of Tranexamic Acid in 100mL of normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) as follow: * 50mL by irrigation before wound closure * 50mL by intraarticular administration (Drenofast) after wound closure. 2. Intravenous administration of Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) as follow: * 100mL before tourniquet realised * 100mL 3 hours after surgery
Intervention: Tranexamic Acid
Comparator
1. Topical administration of Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) as follow: * 50mL by irrigation before wound closure * 50mL by intraarticular administration (Drenofast) after wound closure 2. Intravenous administration of two dosis of Tranexamic Acid as follow: * 15mg/kg of Tranexamic Acid in 100mL of normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride), before tourniquet realised * 15mg/kg of Tranexamic Acid in 100mL of normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride), 3 hours after surgery
Intervention: Tranexamic Acid
