IA-HA injection as adjunct to microfracture surgery for osteochondral lesions of the talus .
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.
Clinical and MRI outcomes of HA injection following arthroscopic microfracture for osteochondral lesions of the talus
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2016 Apr;24(4):1243-935 patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus were randomized to receive either three intra-articular hyaluronic acid (IA-HA) injections as an adjunct to microfracture surgery, or microfracture surgery alone. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of IA-HA would yield benefits when compared to microfracture surgery alone, with regards to clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes. Findings indicated higher thickness indices and a lower T2 index in the IA-HA group compared to the non-injection group. Additionally, while clinical outcomes were similar at final follow-up, improvement from baseline was significantly greater in the in the IA-HA group compared to operative treatment alone.
