Platelet-Rich Plasma vs Conservative Treatment for Pain and Recovery in Achilles Tendinopathy .
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.
Platelet-rich plasma in chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol . 2023 Dec;33(8):3255-3265.Five randomized controlled trials (189 patients) comparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against conservative treatment for chronic Achilles tendinopathy were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Outcomes of interest included the Victorian Insitute of Sport Assessment (VISA-A) score, pain during activity on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Achilles tendon thickness. VISA-A scores at 6 weeks favored the PRP group. Tendon thickness also favored the PRP group. All other outcomes were similar between the two groups at all time points.
