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.
Five-Year Follow-up of Minimally Invasive Distal Metatarsal Chevron Osteotomy in Comparison with the Open Technique: A Randomized Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2020 May 20;102(10):873-879.Fourty-seven feet from 42 patients were randomized to receive an open distal chevron osteotomy or a minimally invasive distal chevron osteotomy for the treatment of hallux valgus. Outcomes of interest included pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the American Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, the distal metatarsal articular angle, the hallux valgus angle and range of motion. Outcomes were assessed at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 9 months and 5 years post-operation. All outcomes were similar between the two groups up to 5 years post-operation.
