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.
A comparison of 2 repair techniques for partial-thickness articular-sided rotator cuff tears
Arthroscopy. 2012 Jan;28(1):25-33. Epub 2011 Oct 1448 patients with partial-thickness articular-sided rotator cuff tears greater than 50% of the tendon were randomized either to repair using an arthroscopic transtendon repair technique or to an arthroscopic repair following conversion to a full-thickness cuff tear. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between these repair techniques. Early postoperative results at 3 months demonstrated that repair following conversion to a full tear provided greater reductions in pain and improvements in functional scores. These results were not maintained at later follow-ups, with both techniques providing satisfactory results.
