MRI outcomes of accelerated versus delayed weightbearing following MACI .
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.
Two-Year Outcomes of a Randomized Trial Investigating a 6-Week Return to Full Weightbearing After Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation
Am J Sports Med. 2017 Mar;45(4):838-84835 patients scheduled for matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation were randomized to either an accelerated or delayed weight-bearing postoperative rehabilitation protocol. Groups were compared for clinical outcome measures, radiological outcomes, and the incidence of complications. Results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in any clinical outcome measures, including the KOOS, SF-36, VAS pain, knee ROM, and knee strength in extension and flexion. Results on the MOCART MRI scoring system demonstrated a significant difference between groups in favour of the accelerated weight-bearing group for the parameters related to border integration and surface contour, though the remaining parameters demonstrated no significant difference between groups.
