Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Topical Tranexamic Acid
3 vials of tranexamic acid (1g tranexamic acid in 10cc each) must be mixed in the operating room by the team at the start of surgery with 45cc of saline solution (for a total of 3g tranexamic acid in 75mL solution). This solution will be applied to the open joint surfaces with two 60mL syringes (one with 60mL and one with 15m).~Topical Tranexamic Acid: 3 vials of tranexamic acid (1g tranexamic acid in 10cc each) must be mixed in the operating room by the team at the start of surgery with 45cc of saline solution (for a total of 3g tranexamic acid in 75mL solution). This solution will be applied to the open joint surfaces with two 60mL syringes (one with 60mL and one with 15m). The solution will be left in contact with the tissues for five minutes.

Group 2Intravenous Tranexamic Acid
1 vial (1g of IV tranexamic acid in 10mL solution) will be administered prior to inflation of the tourniquet. A second 1g dose of IV tranexamic acid will be given during initiation of the closure after the tourniquet is deflated and during closure.~Intravenous Tranexamic Acid: 1 vial (1g of IV tranexamic acid in 10mL solution) will be administered prior to inflation of the tourniquet.
