Declining or Waning
- Traditional Non-operative Management:
As surgical techniques and technologies advance, research focused on conservative treatment methods for fractures and other musculoskeletal issues has decreased. - Aging Population Studies:
Research specifically targeting outcomes in aging populations has waned, possibly due to a broader focus on comparative effectiveness across diverse demographics. - Basic Science and Laboratory Research:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on basic science or laboratory-based research, as the emphasis shifts towards clinical applications and outcomes. - Historical Perspectives and Reviews:
The publication of historical analyses or reviews of past practices in orthopaedic surgery has decreased, with a preference for contemporary studies that address current clinical challenges. - Single-Center Studies:
A reduction in the prevalence of single-center studies has been observed as multi-center collaborations gain traction for their broader applicability and enhanced statistical power.
