Summary
This study tests whether tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that reduces bleeding, can prevent arthritis after an ACL injury. 50 people aged 18-30 with a recent ACL tear will receive TXA to see if it lowers joint inflammation and protects cartilage. The goal is to stop post-traumatic osteoarthritis from developing years later.
