Comparing Tendon Lengthening After Achilles Tendon Repair in Standard vs Accelerated Rehabilitation .
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.
Comparison of Tendon Lengthening With Traditional Versus Accelerated Rehabilitation After Achilles Tendon Repair: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2020 Jun;48(7):1720-1726.Eighteen patients were randomized into the accelerated or the standard rehabilitation programs. The primary outcome was tendon lengthening. Secondary outcomes included the Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pain Interference Short Form (PROMIS PI-SF) score. Results revealed no significant differences in tendon lengthening or patient-reported outcomes (ATRS, PROMIS PI-SF) between the accelerated and standard rehabilitation programs at all time-points.
