Benefit of BM-MSC addition in core decompression in treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head .
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.
Core decompression combined with autologous bone marrow stem cells versus core decompression alone for patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A meta-analysis
Int J Surg. 2019 Jul 10;69:23-3114 randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis which sought to investigate the impact of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) administration alongside core decompression on outcomes in treatment of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Pooled analyses of pain scores from 6 months to 2 years, function from 1 to 2 years, and incidence of eventual total hip arthroplasty, ranging from 1 to 5 years in the same analysis, all significantly favoured MSC groups compared to control groups.
