Clinical Trial: A Study Aiming to Demonstrate That the Addition of Intravenous (IV) Tranexamic Acid-Compared to Placebo-During Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Results in Reduced Blood Loss and Postoperative Pain.

U.S., Aug. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07753161) titled 'A Study Aiming to Demonstrate That the Addition of Intravenous (IV) Tranexamic Acid-Compared to Placebo-During Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Results in Reduced Blood Loss and Postoperative Pain.' on Aug. 03.

Brief Summary: Various reconstruction and graft harvesting techniques are used for ACL reconstruction. The most common techniques involve harvesting one or more hamstring tendons. These tendons are harvested using minimally invasive approaches with "strippers," which do not allow for hemostasis at the base of the thigh-specifically at the myotendinous junction where the proximal end of the graft is severed.
