Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating joint disease which primarily affects women for reasons that remain unclear. There are many treatment options available to address the pain and loss of function in osteoarthritis, ranging from noninvasive physical therapy to total joint replacement. Most of the treatments are gender neutral, but recently knee implants have been marketed to women as gender specific. This chapter reviews the most recent literature on these topics. The literature suggests that gender-neutral knee and hip implants used for total joint replacements are equally beneficial in both men and women. Gender-specific knee implants have not shown any increased benefit in short-term studies, and it remains to be seen how they will compare to gender-neutral knee implants in the long term. There are no gender-specific hip implants on the market, and there is not a clear consensus about whether the production of a gender-specific hip is necessary.
