Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.

Epub 2012 Nov 2.43 patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery using a hamstring graft were randomly assigned to a stem cell or a control group to evaluate the effect of stem cells on graft-to-bone healing. In the study, adult non-cultivated bone marrow stem cells were harvested from select patients and intra-operatively delivered in and around the femoral end of the graft. Upon analysis, the non-cultivated bone marrow stem cells did not appear to advance graft-to-bone healing in ACL reconstruction at 3 months post-operative.

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Porque é que este estudo era necessário agora?
In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, healing of the tendon graft to the bone is crucial for a successful surgery. Recent research has explored the use of growth factors and stem cells to improve and enhance osteointegration of the graft within the bone tunnel, and avoid complications such as tendon pullout out, which can occur even up to a few months postoperatively. The aim of this study was to determine if non-cultivated adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) could enhance tendon-to-bone healing in the femoral tunnel following ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
Are adult non-cultivated bone marrow stem cells able to accelerate tendon-to-bone healing in the femoral tunnel, measured approximately 3 months after ACL reconstruction?
- On PDW-FatSat images, there was no significant difference between the experimental vs. control group in median SNR of the upper interzone [12.3 (7.6-14.6) vs. 10.6 (8.7-13.1)] and lower interzone [10.4 (8.3-13.3) vs.12.4 (10.6-13.4)] (p>0.05).
- On T1W-FatSat-Gad images, there was no significant difference between the experimental vs. control group in median SNR of the upper interzone [22.3 (17.5-27.8) vs. 22.5 (18.8-31.0)] and lower interzone [21.8 (18.1-26.1) vs. 24.5 (21.1-33.5)] (p>0.05).
- A graft biopsy from one patient in each group revealed no apparent differences in collagen amount, vascularity, and number of cells between samples. Both patients were chosen for biopsies because they required second-look arthroscopy for meniscectomy at 4 months.
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
From the results obtained in this study, graft-to-bone healing after ACL reconstruction does not appear to be expedited with the use of adjuvant adult non-cultivated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
While it appears stem cells do not accelerate graft to bone healing in ACL reconstruction, larger trials are required to confirm these results. Furhermore, it should be noted that MRI evaluation may not be sensitive enough to detect histological changes at the tendon-to-bone interface. Future studies are needed to further evaluate the efficacy of this augmentative therapy.
