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.
Ongoing Positive Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Corticosteroid Injection in Lateral Epicondylitis: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial With 2-year Follow-up
Am J Sports Med June 2011 vol. 39 no. 6 1200-1208100 patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis were randomized to receive either leukocyte-enriched platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a corticosteroid treatment, as a control. This was performed in order to determine the efficacy of PRP treatment in the recovery of postoperative function and pain relief. Patients were followed-up at two years to determine the effect on pain and function. Both pain and functional recovery scores were superior in the platelet-rich plasma group at the two year follow-up.
