Core Tip

Core Tip: The development and application of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) have been slower than those of total knee and total hip arthroplasty, and there is still a lack of advanced evidence-based evidence about the application of tranexamic acid (TXA) in the perioperative period of TSA. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of intravenous TXA in the perioperative period of TSA.
