Operative vs nonoperative care of closed, displaced, intraarticular calcaneal fractures .
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.
Operative versus non-operative treatment for closed, displaced, intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus: randomised controlled trial
BMJ. 2014 Jul 24;349:g4483. doi: 10.1136/bmj.g4483.One hundred and fifty one patients with a recent (<3 weeks) closed, intra-articular, displaced calcaneal fracture were randomized to either operative or nonoperative treatment. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of operative treatment after 2 years. Results indicated that there were no treatment effects for Kerr-Atkins scores, as well as for SF-36 scores, EQ-5D scores, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores, heel width, range of motion, walking speed, or any gait symmetry metrics. However, complications and reoperations were more frequent in the operative group versus the nonoperative group.
