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.
Arthroscopic or conservative treatment of degenerative medial meniscal tears: a prospective randomised trial
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2007 Apr;15(4):393-401. Epub 2007 Jan 1099 middle-aged patients were randomized to compare an exercise program alone to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy plus a postoperative exercise program in the treatment of degenerative medial meniscus tears. The exercise program was completed over 8 weeks, with outcomes in pain and function being assessed at the completion of the program, and again at 6 months. The results indicated that both groups scored similarly on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm score, Tegner activity level, and visual analog scale for pain over the 6 months.
