Abstract

A significant proportion of surgeons use intra-articular drains after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Hemarthrosis and pain adversely affect the functional outcomes of ACL reconstruction in the early postoperative period. To evaluate the effects of administering tranexamic acid (TXA) to minimize knee joint hemarthrosis and associated pain. Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. A total of 105 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double-blind study. The patients who were randomized to the TXA group (n = 53) received intravenous TXA; the control group (n = 52) did not receive TXA. The anesthetist, surgeon, observer, and patients were blinded to the study groups (double-blinded). TXA was administered as a bolus dose of 15 mg/kg 10 minutes before the inflation of the tourniquet, and an intravenous infusion of 10 mg/kg/h was continued for 3 hours after completion of the operation. In the control group, an equal volume of placebo was administered at the same rate and by the same route. The volume of drained blood was measured 24 hours postoperatively. Pain was evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS) at a consistent time in t...Continue Reading
