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.
Treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus with microfracture technique and postoperative hyaluronan injection
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2012 Jul;20(7):1398-403. doi: 10.1007/s00167-011-1856-7. Epub 2011 Dec 2957 patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus undergoing arthroscopic debridement and microfracture were randomized to assess the efficacy of an adjunct hyaluronan injection. Patients received either an intra-articular hyaluronan injection or no injection following arthroscopic debridement and microfracture treatment. Results from the 2 year follow-up demonstrated that both groups provided an improvement in pain and function from baseline measures, however, patients receiving the hyaluronan injection experienced slightly greater improvements.
