Y-graft yields better clinical outcomes than the C-graft technique in MPFL 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.

Epub 2013 Mar 2290 patients with symptomatic chronic patellar dislocations or instability were randomized to undergo medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL) using either the C-graft technique or the Y-graft technique to observe differences in clinical outcomes at a 2-year follow-up. Results indicated that Lysholm and Kujala scores were significantly better in the Y-graft group compared to the C-graft group at 2 years, however, the differences were below the minimally clinically important difference. In addition, there was no difference found between the two groups in terms of the congruence angle, the lateral patellar angle, the patellar tilt angle, and lateral displacement.
