This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Reducing Intra-articular Hemarthrosis After Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by the Administration of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Nov;43(11):2720-6.105 patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture undergoing ACL reconstruction were randomized to receive either intravenous tranexamic acid or a placebo prior to surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of a TXA injection to the standard use of drain clamping provides additional benefits over the use of drain clamping alone in terms of clinical outcomes evaluated over a 4 week follow-up period. The results of this study found the additional administration of TXA to significant improve subjective hemarthrosis assessment, VAS pain scores, Lysholm scores, the need for aspiration and the volume of blood drained compared to the use of drain clamping alone.
