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.
No effects of PRP on ultrasonographic tendon structure and neovascularisation in chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy
Br J Sports Med. 2011 Apr;45(5):387-92. doi: 10.1136/bjsm.2010.076398. Epub 2010 Nov 354 patients with chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy undergoing an eccentric exercise programme were randomized to receive either a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection or a saline injection (placebo), in order to determine whether PRP injections would result in enhanced tendon structure and neovascularisation that could be observed through ultrasonographic methods. Following evaluations over a 24 week period, the results indicated that no significant differences existed in neovascularisation scores between groups and that PRP injections did not contribute to improved tendon structure.
