Achilles tendon rupture: Comparing the 1-year results of surgical vs nonsurgical treatment .
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.
Acute achilles tendon rupture: A randomized, controlled study comparing surgical and nonsurgical treatments using validated outcome measures
Am J Sports Med. 2010 Nov;38(11):2186-93.97 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were randomized to have their injury treated either surgically or nonsurgically within 72 hours of the injury. A standardized rehabilitation was followed in all patients. The results with 12 month follow-up did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups in re-rupture rates, clinical examinations, and functional scores.
