UC to lead study on extended use of drug in ACL reconstructions
December 1, 2025
The University of Cincinnati will lead a national study that could have a major effect on how people, especially teens, recover from ACL surgery. It will soon begin enrolling patients in a clinical trial. The study will look at the effectiveness of using a surgical drug post-operatively to speed up recovery. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is already regularly used during surgeries to limit bleeding.
