Aims

To evaluate the concurrent use of vancomycin and ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

In total, 120 patients undergoing unilateral primary THA were divided into three groups: Group VE received intra-articular vancomycin and EACA; Group V received only intra-articular vancomycin; and Group E received only intra-articular EACA. Blood and joint fluids were sampled postoperatively to measure the vancomycin levels using chromatography. Blood loss and kidney function were monitored.
