Clinical Trial: Intravenous Versus Intra-articular Tranexamic Acid for Visual Clarity During Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

U.S., July 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07686705) titled 'Intravenous Versus Intra-articular Tranexamic Acid for Visual Clarity During Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair' on June 17.

Brief Summary: This single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial evaluated whether intravenous (IV) or intra-articular (IA) administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) improves intraoperative visual clarity, compared with a no-TXA control, during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears were randomly allocated to one of three groups: a control group receiving no TXA; an IA group in which 500 mg of TXA was added to each 1 L of normal-saline irrigation f...
