No significant difference in 2-year quality-of-life between SB and DB ACL reconstruction .
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.
No Difference in the KOOS Quality of Life Subscore Between Anatomic Double-Bundle and Anatomic Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial With 2 Years' Follow-up
Am J Sports Med. 2018 Aug;46(10):2341-2354. doi: 10.1177/0363546518782454120 patients scheduled for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were randomized to either double-bundle (DB) or single-bundle (SB) reconstruction. Primary outcome was the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Quality of Life (QoL) subscale. Secondary outcomes included the remaining KOOS subscales, manual and instrumented tests for knee laxity, Tegner activity scale, and incidence of adverse events. Follow-up was scheduled for 1 and 2 years postoperatively. For the primary outcome, results demonstrated no significant differences between the DB and SB group for improvement in KOOS QoL scores. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were observed between groups in secondary measures.
