Summary
This study tests whether tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that reduces bleeding, can prevent arthritis after an ACL tear. About 50 people aged 18-30 who recently tore their ACL will receive TXA or a placebo. Researchers will check joint inflammation and cartilage health using MRI and knee function scores to see if TXA helps protect the joint.
