Comparable results with 2 implants for scoliosis: Surgeon preference unrelated to outcome .
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.
Are Surgeons' Preferences for Instrumentation Related to Patient Outcomes?: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Two Implants for Idiopathic Scoliosis
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2007 Dec;89(12):2684-93129 adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis were randomised to undergo one of two implant and spinal fusion treatments. The first group received treatment with the Moss Miami system while the second group received treatment with the Universal Spine System for spinal fusion. Results demonstrated comparable outcomes in patient quality of life and curve correction at the 2-year follow-up. Surgeon preference of implant system did not significantly affect patient outcomes.
