Augmented surgical repair of a fresh total Achilles tendon rupture is unnecessary .
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.
Augmented Compared with Nonaugmented Surgical Repair of a Fresh Total Achilles Tendon Rupture
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2009 May;91(5):1092-10060 patients with acute Achilles tendon ruptures were randomized to receive end-to-end suture repair via an augmented or non-augmented method. The purpose of this study was to establish if augmentation of end-to-end suture repair was necessary. Following assessments over a 12 month period, the results from this trial indicated that non-augmented Achilles tendon repair provided similar clinical outcomes when compared to the augmented procedure.
