Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) application in tendon healing by using its immunohistochemical effects on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (NIMP-3), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) expression; and to identify if TNF-alpha, MMP-3, and TOF-beta can be used to monitor and evaluate tendon healing or not in tenotomized rat Achilles tendons.
