original publication.
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.
Quality of Life and Clinical Outcome Comparison of Semitendinosus and Gracilis Tendon Versus Patellar Tendon Autografts for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: An 11-Year Follow-up of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med; 2011; 39(10): 2161-2169Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Sajovic comparing ACL hamstring and patellar tendon autografts
64 patients scheduled to undergo reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures were randomized to receive either hamstring tendon autograft or patellar tendon autograft. The results from 11 year follow-up indicated that there were no significant differences between the two groups in regards to functional or pain outcomes.It was also found that there were no significant differences in rate of graft failures between the two groups. However, the patellar tendon autograft group had a higher prevalence of osteoarthritis at 11 years.
