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.
Accelerated weightbearing rehabilitation after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation in the tibiofemoral joint: early clinical and radiological outcomes
Am J Sports Med. 2013 Oct;41(10):2314-24Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Ebert discusses how accelerated weightbearing rehabilitation can affect outcomes after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation.
A total of 26 patients (28 knees), who had undergone matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation to treat full-thickness femoral condylar defects in the knee, were randomly assigned into 1 of 2 groups to test the effectiveness of an accelerated weight-bearing protocol following surgery. Patients either received a weight-bearing protocol that aimed to achieve maximum weight bearing by 6 weeks (accelerated) or 8 weeks. Results indicated that the accelerated weight-bearing protocol improved physical function and quality of life, and achieved earlier attainment of full active knee extension than conventional weight-bearing regimens.
