Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation: accelerated vs traditional rehab .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
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.
A randomized trial comparing accelerated and traditional approaches to postoperative weightbearing rehabilitation after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation: findings at 5 years
Am J Sports Med. 2012 Jul;40(7):1527-37. doi: 10.1177/0363546512445167. Epub 2012 Apr 2670 patients were randomized to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of an accelerated weight bearing rehabilitation program to a traditional rehabilitation program in patients who underwent matrix-induced autologous chrondrocyte implantation (MACI). Over a 5-year follow-up period there were no significant differences were seen between the two groups in clinical or radiographic outcomes.
