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.
Do postoperative platelet-rich plasma injections accelerate early tendon healing and functional recovery after arthroscopic supraspinatus repair? A randomized controlled trial
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Jun;43(6):1430-760 patients with full-thickness suprispinatus tear and scheduled for arthroscopic double-row repair were randomized to one of two groups to determine the effect of postoperative platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections on tendon healing. In one group, patients received an injection of PRP at 7 and 14 days postoperatively, whereas the second group did not receive any PRP injection. Follow-up was performed for 16 weeks postoperatively. Results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in Sugaya Classification of tendon structure, clinical outcome measures, range of motion, or isokinetic strength.
