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.
A prospective randomized double-blind clinical trial to assess the effects of leukocyte-reduced platelet-rich plasma on pro-inflammatory, degradative, and anabolic biomarkers after closed pilon fractures.
J Orthop Res . 2022 Apr;40(4):925-932Eleven patients undergoing two-staged open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of an isolated pilon fracture were randomized to receive either 5ml of either autogenous leukocyte-reduce platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (n=5) or sterile 0.9% saline (n=6). The primary outcomes of this trial were to assess the number of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA)-related pro-inflammatory degradative biomarkers and anabolic biomarkers during the initial post-injury time period. The results of this trial illustrated that one intra-articular injection of leukocyte-reduced PRP is associated with anti-inflammatory, anti-degradative, and anabolic responses compared with the saline control. No adverse events of complications were reported.
