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.
Platelet-rich plasma versus autologous whole blood for the treatment of chronic lateral elbow epicondylitis: a randomized controlled clinical trial
Am J Sports Med; 2011; 39(10): 2130-213428 patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis were randomized to receive treatment with either a single injection of 3mL autologous blood or 3mL of platelet rich plasma (PRP) under ultrasound guidance. Patients who received PRP displayed greater VAS pain score improvement at all follow-up visits; however, significance was only observed at 6 week follow up. Additionally, it was found that there were no significant differences in range of motion and performance of daily activities between the two groups.
