Purpose: This study aimed to analyse the 50 most cited publications on trochleoplasty (TP), examine their bibliographic parameters and evaluate the correlations between citation count, methodological quality and other factors.
Methods: In a comprehensive literature search on the Web of Science, the 50 most cited studies on TP were identified. These studies were then evaluated according to their bibliographic parameters, level of evidence (LOE), citation counts, the Modified Coleman Methodological Score (MCMS), the Methodological Index for Non‑Randomised Studies (MINORS) and the Radiologic Methodology and Quality Scale (MQCSRE).
Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviews the existing literature on the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Return to Sport Index (ALR-RSI) scale, focusing on its correlation with returning to sports and functional outcomes after ankle injuries.
- Out of 157 patients analyzed, 85% returned to some form of sport post-surgery, but only about 49% achieved their pre-injury level, highlighting the importance of psychological readiness in recovery.
- The results indicate that the ALR-RSI scale effectively correlates with overall ankle function scores, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for assessing patients' readiness to return to sports after ankle reconstruction.
