The effects of tranexamic acid, an inhibitor of plasminogen activator, were evaluated in a rabbit model of osteoarthritis induced by section of the knee joint anterior cruciate ligament. Prophylactic treatment administered intramuscularly thrice weekly for 12 or 24 weeks significantly reduced cartilage destructive lesions, increased cartilage hypertrophy but did not prevent changes in cartilage water and proteoglycan content. A suppression of synovial membrane stromelysin and collagenase activity was found while phospholipase A2 activity was unaffected.
