The impact of tranexamic acid on surgical efficiency and visualization in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis
This study finds a lack of clear evidence to support a clinical benefit of TXA in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Consequently, the routine use of TXA for this procedure should be reconsidered. Given its established safety profile, TXA might still have a role in specific, limited clinical situations in which its benefits could outweigh the current lack of evidence for its widespread application. Level of evidence: I.
