Inflammation is an initiating factor for HO formation. Tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce the inflammatory response after orthopaedic surgery. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of TXA use for HO prevention after elbow trauma surgery is lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective observational propensity-score-matched (PSM) cohort study was conducted from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2021, at the National Orthopedics Clinical Medical Center, Shanghai, People\u2019s Republic of China. A total of 640 patients who underwent surgery following elbow trauma were evaluated. The present study excluded patients with an age of &lt;18 years; those with a history of elbow fracture; those with a central nervous system injury, spinal cord injury, burn injury, or destructive injury; and those who had been lost to follow-up. After 1:1 matching on the basis of sex, age, dominant arm, injury type, open injury, comminuted fracture, ipsilateral trauma, time from injury to surgery, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, the TXA group and the no-TXA group comprised 241 patients each.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the PSM population, the prevalence of HO was 8.71% in the TXA group and 16.18% in the no-TXA group (with rates of 2.07% and 5.80% for clinically important HO, respectively). Logistic regression analyses showed that TXA use was associated with a lower rate of HO (odds ratio [OR], 0.49; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.86; p = 0.014) than no TXA use, as well as with a lower rate of clinically important HO (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.91; p = 0.044). None of the baseline covariates significantly affected the relationship between TXA use and HO rate (p &gt; 0.05 for all).
