Shoulder surgery breakthrough? bone injection may give surgeons a clearer view
NCT ID NCT07714473
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether injecting tranexamic acid into the shoulder bone before rotator cuff repair improves the surgeon's view during the procedure. Sixty adults scheduled for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair will receive either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if this technique reduces bleeding and makes surgery smoother.
