This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
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 prospective randomised controlled study of patient-specific cutting guides compared with conventional instrumentation in total knee replacement
Bone Joint J. 2013 Mar;95-B(3):354-9. doi: 10.1302/0301-620X.95B3.2990380 patients were randomized to undergo either patient-specific cutting guides (PSCGs) or conventional instrumentation total knee arthroplasty to compare the accuracy of limb alignment and component positioning between these two techniques. Post-surgical radiographs, perioperative time, blood loss and need of transfusion showed no significant differences in tibiofemoral angle or femoral component alignment. PSCG’s angle alignment was closer to neutral with shorter operating time, but these results were not clinically relevant.
