No radiographic differences between exercise vs partial meniscectomy for degenerative meniscus tears .
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.
Development of osteoarthritis in patients with degenerative meniscal tears treated with exercise therapy or surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2020 Mar 14.One hundred and forty patients with degenerative meniscal tears were randomized to receive an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy procedure or a 12 week exercise program. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of osteophytes and joint space narrowing progression measured radiographically. Secondary outcomes of interest included functional outcomes, the incidence of osteoarthritis and the change from baseline in the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) sub-scales. Results of the 5 year follow up were reported. No significant differences in all outcomes were observed between the exercise group and surgery group.
