Common drug could stop arthritis before it starts in ACL patients

NCT ID NCT03552705

Summary

This study is testing if a medication called Tranexamic Acid (TXA), which is already used to reduce bleeding, can help prevent arthritis in people who tear their ACL. Researchers want to see if giving TXA right after the injury and during surgery reduces joint inflammation and protects cartilage. The goal is to find a new way to delay or stop arthritis from developing years later.
