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.
Anatomic single- versus double-bundle ACL reconstruction: a meta-analysis
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2014 May;22(5):1009-23. doi: 10.1007/s00167-013-2811-6. Epub 2013 Dec 17Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. FH. Fu speaks about their recent meta-analysis examining differences between anatomic single- and double-bundle ACL reconstructions.
Fifteen randomized controlled trials and prospective comparative studies were included in this meta-analysis which compared knee kinematics and graft failure rates between anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction. Pooled estimates of knee laxity (side-to-side difference in AP laxity measured by KT-1000 and antero-posterior laxity measured by navigation) demonstrated significantly better outcome with anatomic double-bundle reconstruction, although no significant differences were found in pivot-shift, Lachman, and anterior drawer tests. Rate of graft failure also did not significantly differ between single- and double-bundle reconstructions. It has yet to be determined if these differences in laxity result in clinically meaningful improvements in patient important outcomes.
