Osteochondral lesion of talus: No difference between early/delayed weight bearing .
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 early versus delayed weightbearing outcomes after microfracture for small to midsized osteochondral lesions of the talus
Am J Sports Med. 2012 Sep;40(9):2023-8. doi: 10.1177/0363546512455316. Epub 2012 Aug 9.81 patients with a single osteochondral lesion of the talus, who had undergone arthroscopic microfracture, were randomized to postoperative treatment with early or delayed weight bearing. The results of the study indicated that there were no significant differences over a 36 month period in pain or function between the patients that underwent early or late weight bearing. The use of early weight bearing postoperative regimens did not appear to be detrimental to recovery in patients with a single osteochondral lesion of the talus, treated by arthroscopic microfracture.
