Patellar tendinopathy: surgery results in comparable outcomes to eccentric training .
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.
Surgical treatment compared with eccentric training for patellar tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee). A randomized, controlled trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2006 Aug;88(8):1689-9835 patients (40 knees) with patellar tendinopathy were randomized to receive open patellar tenotomy or eccentric strength training. While there was significant improvement in all patients for knee function scores over 12 months, the improvement did not differ significantly between the two groups. Additionally, there was no difference between the two groups at the end of the study in global evaluation scores, satisfaction with treatment or jumping and strength performance.
