Abstract:Objective To compare the hemostatic effect and safety of rivaroxaban and low-molecular-weight heparin calcium combined with tranexamic acid on primary total knee arthroplasty (TKR).Methods From January 2019 to January 2021, 214 TKR patients admitted were selected as the research objects and divided into control group and study group by random number table method, with 107 cases in each group. All patients were received intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid 15 mg/kg 10 minutes before TKR skin incision. In the control group, 0.4 mL of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium was injected subcutaneously 12 h after TKR as the first administration, followed by subcutaneous injection of 0.4 mL in the 1st day, for 2 weeks. In the treatment group, 10 mg of rivaroxaban was orally administered 12 hours after TKR as the first administration, and then 10 mg/d in the 1st day, for 2 weeks. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), coagulation time (R), clotting time (K) K, clot formation rate (α angle), maximum amplitude (MA), whole blood high shear viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit of the two groups of patients were compared. The postoperative complications of the two groups were counted.Results There was no significant difference in PT, APTT and FIB between the two groups before and after treatment (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in R, K, α Angle and MA between the two groups before and after treatment (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in total blood loss, recessive blood loss and dominant blood loss between 2 groups (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in whole blood high tangential viscosity, plasma viscosity and erythrocyte ratio tolerance between the two groups before and after treatment (P > 0.05). The total complication rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Rivaroxaban and low-molecular-weight heparin calcium combined with tranexamic acid have similar hemostatic effects in patients with initial TKR, but low-molecular-weight heparin calcium combined with tranexamic acid is more safe.
