Use of Norian SRS cement to accelerate rehabilitation in distal radial fractures .
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.
Norian SRS Cement Compared with Conventional Fixation in Distal Radial Fractures: A Randomized Study
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2003 Nov;85-A(11):2127-37323 patients with a distal radial fracture were randomized to receive a closed reduction followed by injection of Norian Skeletal Repair System (SRS) cement or a closed reduction with a cast or external fixator (control). Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically through 12 months. At 6-8 weeks, clinical findings were significantly better in the Norian group than the control group in terms of grip strength, wrist range of motion, digital motion, use of the hand, social and emotional function, and swelling. These differences were not seen by 1 year. No differences were seen in the total number of complications, including loss of reduction. But the infection rate was also significantly higher in the control group.
