Arthroscopy versus control interventions for mensical tear .
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.
Arthroscopic surgery for degenerative knee: systematic review and meta-analysis of benefits and harms
BMJ. 2015 Jun 16;350:h27479 randomized controlled trials were included in a 'benefits' analysis, and 2 RCTs and 7 observational/registry studies in a 'harms' analysis comparing arthroscopic interventions for a meniscus tear, both in the presence and absence of radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis, to control interventions. In the 'benefits' analysis, the pooled results demonstrated a slight benefit of arthroscopy for patient-reported pain at 3 and 6 months compared to control, but not at 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery. Effects on patient-reported function were insignificant. In the 'harms' analysis, adverse events that were noted with arthroscopy included deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and infection.
