STG graft better for functional outcome upon return to sport after ACL reconstruction .
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.
Comparison of Functional Outcome Measures After ACL Reconstruction in Competitive Soccer Players: A Randomized Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2013 Jul 17;95(14):1271-7. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.L.00724Forty-two male soccer players, who had sustained an injury of the anterior cruciate ligament, were randomized to undergo reconstruction with either a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft or a semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft. The groups were compared for functional outcome upon their return to sports. A healthy control group, matched for activity level, was also incorporated into this study to examine the degree of recovery of those who had undergone ACL reconstruction of any sort. The results indicated that patients treated with a semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft had significantly better quadriceps strength, triple and crossover hop tests, and jump-landing tests. However, functional outcomes were still significantly lower compared to healthy controls.
