Characterized Chondrocyte Implantation Versus Microfracture for Cartilage Defects of Knee .
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.
Five-Year Outcome of Characterized Chondrocyte Implantation Versus Microfracture for Symptomatic Cartilage Defects of the Knee
Am J Sports Med; 2011; 39(12): 2566-2574.112 participants with a symptomatic isolated International Cartilage Repair Society Grade III or IV cartilage lesion of the femoral condyles were randomized to receive characterized chondrocyte implantation (CCI) or microfracture. The results from 60 month follow-up indicated there were no significant differences between the two groups, in regards to change in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) from baseline. However, through subgroup analysis, it was found that patients who received CCI had better KOOS scores with time since the symptom onset less than 3 years.
