Factors predicting negative outcomes in intramedullary nailing of the tibia .
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.
Prognostic factors for predicting outcomes after intramedullary nailing of the tibia
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2012 Oct 3;94(19):1786-93. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.J.01418.1226 patients who were included in the Study to Prospectively Evaluate Reamed Intramedullary Nails in Patients with Tibial Fractures (SPRINT) and completed the 1 year follow-up were included in this study to identify prognostic factors for predicting negative outcomes of this treatment. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified an increased risk of a negative event for high energy fractures, stainless steel nails vs titanium nails, fracture gaps, full postoperative weight bearing, and open fractures treated with reamed nailing from the 15 baseline and surgical factors investigated.
