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.
Three-Dimensional Compared with Two-Dimensional Preoperative Planning of Corrective Osteotomy for Extra-Articular Distal Radial Malunion: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2018 Jul 18;100(14):1191-120240 patients with a distal radius malunion were randomized to either 3-dimensional (3D) or 2-dimensional (2D) preoperative planning for corrective osteotomy. The primary outcome was the change in patient-reported disability on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire over 12-month follow-up; secondary measures included visual analog scales for pain and satisfaction, the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation, and radiographic assessment of deformity correction. No significant differences between groups were noted in the changes of the DASH, PRWE, VAS pain, or VAS satisfaction after 3, 6 or 12 months.
