Knee surgery glue: does extra sealant speed recovery?
NCT ID NCT07455591
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether adding a fibrin sealant (VeraSeal) to the standard medication tranexamic acid (TXA) during total knee replacement improves early recovery. 78 patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to receive either TXA alone or TXA plus the sealant. Researchers measured blood levels, pain, movement, and walking distance the day after surgery, and followed up at 6 months with knee and quality-of-life scores.
