Two-year efficacy of leukocyte-rich PRP vs. corticosteroid for gluteal tendinopathy .
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.
Leucocyte-Rich Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment of Gluteus Medius and Minimus Tendinopathy: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial With 2-Year Follow-up
Am J Sports Med. 2019 Apr;47(5):1130-1137. doi: 10.1177/036354651982696980 patients with grade 2-3 gluteal tendinopathy were randomized to an intratendinous injection of either leukocyte-rich platelet rich plasma or corticosteroid. Patients were initially followed-up over the first 24 weeks after injection, after which they were given the option of secondary injection with LR-PRP if they had an unsatisfactory response to the first injection. Modified Harris Hip Score were significantly greater in the LR-PRP group compared to the CS group at 12 and 24 weeks, and at 52 and 104 weeks among patients who remained in their originally allocated group. A total of 27 patients of the CS group requested secondary injection with LR-PRP. After 104 weeks, 2 patients in the LR-PRP group and 3 patients in the CS group were referred for surgical intervention.
