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.
Comparison of Anatomic Double- and Single-Bundle Techniques for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Hamstring Tendon Autografts: A Prospective Randomized Study With 5-Year Clinical and Radiographic Follow-up
Am J Sports Med. 2016 May;44(5):1225-36105 patients scheduled for anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a hamstring autograft were randomized to an anatomic double-bundle or single-bundle reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a double-bundle reconstruction would offer greater knee stability postoperatively when measured using the pivot-shift test over a 5 year follow-up period, compared with single bundle reconstruction. The results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in the rate of positive pivot-shift tests through follow-up, nor in any other secondary outcome of knee stability/laxity, patient-reported function, or functional performance.
