Large Drill Holes Are Still Present in the Long Term After Arthroscopic Bankart Repair With Absorbable Tacks: An 18-Year Randomized Prospective Study

この研究はインパクトが大きい可能性があると判断されました。 OEのAIによるハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文の影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することができ、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に焦点を当てることができます。

研究概要

Forty patients with unidirectional post-traumatic anterior shoulder instability scheduled for an arthroscopic Bankart repair between March 1998 and February 2001 were randomized to receive a fast absorbing polygluconate acid (PGA) tack or a slow absorbing polylevolactic acid (PLLA) tack for suture anchoring during procedure. The primary outcome of interest was drill hole volume and visibility. Secondary outcomes of interest included range of motion, as well as strength and patient reported outcomes. Assessment occurred 18 years post-operation. Results revealed no significant differences between groups in drill hole volume; however, a trend favoured the PGA tack group. Conflicting results were observed in drill hole visibility depending on the method of imaging used to assess outcomes. No significant differences in range of motion, strength, or patient reported outcomes were observed between the two groups.
