PRP and hyaluronic acid improve recovery and pain reduction in talar microfracture surgery .
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.
Clinical Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hyaluronic Acid as an Additional Therapy for Talar Osteochondral Lesions Treated with Microfracture Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
Foot Ankle Int. 2015 Aug;36(8):891-900.40 patients undergoing micro-fracture surgery for osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talus were randomized to 1 of 3 injection therapy groups: the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) group, hyaluronic acid (HA) group, or control group, who received a saline injection. The purpose of the study was to observe and compare the effects of PRP and HA on patient pain and recovery. Outcomes included the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, to measure ankle function and pain. Both PRP and HA injection therapies were found to significantly reduce pain and aid recovery of the ankle joint, with PRP results being significantly better than HA.
