Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Treatment of Ankle Osteoarthritis .
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.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Treatment of Ankle Osteoarthritis.
Am J Sports Med . 2023 Aug;51(10):2625-2634.One hundred patients with ankle osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to receive either intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injections (PRP; n=48) or intra-articular placebo injections (n=52). The primary outcome was the patient-reported American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score over 52 weeks. Secondary outcomes included various patient-reported measures assessing pain, function, quality of life, and indirect costs over the same period. The adjusted between-group difference for the patient-reported AOFAS score at 52 weeks favored the placebo group by 2 points (95% CI, 25 to 2; P = .31). With regards to secondary outcomes, there were no statistically significant between-group differences observed as was measured at 52 weeks post procedure. Overall, this indicates that PRP injections did not significantly improve ankle symptoms and function compared to placebo.
