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.
Microfracture technique versus osteochondral autologous transplantation mosaicplasty in patients with articular chondral lesions of the knee: a prospective randomized trial with long-term follow-up
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2014 Jun;22(6):1207-15. doi: 10.1007/s00167-014-2843-6. Epub 2014 Jan 21.25 patients with full-thickness chondral or osteochondral lesions of the knee were randomized to treatment with either osteochondral autologous transplantation (OAT) mosaicplasty or microfracture technique. The purpose of the study was to compare the long-term functional and radiological outcome between techniques. Results indicated comparable changes in Lysholm scores, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) from baseline to follow-up between groups. Mean extension strength deficit favoured OAT. Incidence of osteoarthritis and reoperation was similar.
