Lower recurrence rate with operative vs nonoperative treatment of patellar dislocation .
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.
Six-year outcome after non-surgical versus surgical treatment of acute primary patellar dislocation in adolescents: a prospective randomized trial
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2016 Jan;24(1):6-1136 patients, 16 years of age or younger, with acute primary patellar dislocation, were allocated to operative management or nonoperative management.

Concerning subjective clinical outcome measures, there were no significant between-group differences in patient-reported function or satisfaction. The recurrent dislocation rate was significantly lower in the operatively managed group compared to the nonoperatively managed group
