Similar 5-year MRI and clinical results between accelerated and delayed rehab after MACI .
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.
Effect of accelerated weightbearing after matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation on the femoral condyle: a prospective, randomized controlled study presenting MRI-based and clinical outcomes after 5 years
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Jan;43(1):146-5331 patients scheduled for matrix-induced autologous chrondrocyte implantation (MACI) were randomized to either accelerated rehabilitation, with full-weightbearing allowed by 6 weeks, or delayed rehabilitation, with full-weightbearing not allowed until 10 weeks. The purpose of this study was to compare radiographic and clinical outcome between groups over 5-year follow-up. Results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) scores, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), or Tegner score at 5 years.
