This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
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.
Computer-Assisted Techniques Versus Conventional Guides for Component Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery; 2011; 93; 1377-1384107 patients who were scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to receive either computer assisted surgery, intramedullary guides for the femur and tibia, or an intramedullary guide for the femur and an extramedullary guide for the tibia. The results of the study indicated that patients randomized to the computer assisted group had much more accuracy in terms of alignment of the coronal tibiofemoral and coronal tibiofemoral angle. However, it was also found that the computer assisted procedure was significantly longer than the other two interventions.
