Comparison of Functional Outcome Measures After ACL Reconstruction in Competitive Soccer Players: A Randomized Trial

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

Forty-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.
