ACL Reconstruction: Navigation system improves tunnel placement accuracy .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
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.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using navigation: a comparative study on 60 patients.
Am J Sports Med. 2006 Apr;34(4):542-5260 patients undergoing ACL reconstruction were randomized to receive surgery with conventional instrumentation or with an image-free navigation system. Over 24 months, patients who received surgery with the navigated system demonstrated improved accuracy in tunnel placement as well as decreased variability in radiographic measurements of laxity. Further studies are required to evaluate whether these results are seen after longer follow up periods.
