Skin-derived tenocyte-like cells for patellar tendinopathy improves pain and function .
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.
Skin-derived tenocyte-like cells for the treatment of patellar tendinopathy
Am J Sports Med. 2011 Mar;39(3):614-23. doi: 10.1177/0363546510387095. Epub 2010 Dec 746 patients (60 patellar tendons) were randomized to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided injection of autologous skin-derived, tenocyte-like cells in treating refractory patellar tendinosis. Patients received either injection with collagen-producing cells suspended in autologous plasma or injection with autologous plasma alone (control). The assessment at 6 months indicated that ultrasound-guided injection of autologous skin-derived tendon-like cells led to a significantly greater improvement in pain and function in comparison to control injections.
