Injection of BMAC/PRP associated with faster healing in distraction osteogenesis .
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.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate and Platelet-rich Plasma Enhanced Bone Healing in Distraction Osteogenesis of the Tibia
Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2014 Dec;472(12):3789-97.40 patients scheduled to undergo bilateral tibial lengthening due to familial short stature were randomized to either a combined group or a non-injection group. The combined group received an injection of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) following surgery, whereas the non-injection group did not receive any injections following surgery. This was done to determine whether the local injection of BMAC and PRP would enhance callus regeneration. Radiographic evaluations were used to determine outcomes such as the external fixator index (time of external fixation application over amount lengthened), full weight bearing index (time to full weight bearing over amount lengthened), and cortical healing indices, and patients were evaluated for up to 34 months. The results indicated significantly smaller cortical healing and full weight bearing indices in the combined group as compared to the non-injection group. There was no significant difference in external fixator index between groups.
