Endoscopic Versus Open Excision of Os Trigonum for the Treatment of Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome in an Athletic Population: A Randomized Controlled Study With 5-Year Follow-up

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型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、論文が持つ可能性の高い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可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

52 patients with posterior ankle impingement due to an os trigonum were randomized to either endoscopic or open surgery for excision of the os trigonum. Groups were compared for the incidence of postoperative complications, time to return to training, and time to return to sport. Secondary outcomes also included patient-reported measures of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle hindfoot score for function, and the Visual Analog Score-Foot and Ankle score for pain. Results demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of complications in the endoscopic group compared to the open group, as well as significantly shorter times to return to both training and preinjury sporting level. The endoscopic group also demonstrated significantly better scores compared to the open group on the AOFAS-hindfoot score at 6 months and 5 years, and on the VAS-FA score at 6 months.
