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 injections for the treatment of hamstring injuries: a randomized controlled trial
Am J Sports Med. 2014 Oct;42(10):2410-8.28 patients with a grade II hamstring injury were allocated to undergo daily home-based rehabilitation exercises, and randomized to either receive or not receive an injection of platelet-rich plasma upon presentation to the sports medicine clinic. Participants were followed-up for time to return to play, as well as improvement of pain. Mean time to return to play was 27 days in the PRP group and 42.5 days in the control group, and log-rank test for return to play revealed significantly quicker return to play among the group who received PRP injection compared to those who did not.
