Trending and Emerging
- Telemedicine and Remote Care:
The rise of telemedicine in orthopaedic practice, especially post-COVID-19, is a significant trend, with increasing research on its efficacy, patient satisfaction, and impact on access to care. - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:
There is a growing interest in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in orthopaedics, particularly in predictive analytics for patient outcomes and surgical decision-making. - Focus on Mental Health and Well-being:
Emerging research explores the intersection of mental health and orthopaedic outcomes, recognizing the impact of psychological factors on recovery and patient satisfaction. - Sustainability and Environmental Impact:
An increasing number of articles address the environmental impact of orthopaedic practices, focusing on sustainability in surgical procedures and the use of materials. - Health Equity and Access to Care:
There is a notable emphasis on understanding and addressing health disparities in orthopaedic care, with research aimed at promoting equitable access to treatment for underserved populations. - Patient-Centered Care Models:
The trend towards patient-centered care is evident, with studies focusing on shared decision-making, patient education, and the incorporation of patient preferences in treatment plans.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications centered around traditional surgical techniques, as the field increasingly shifts towards minimally invasive and technologically advanced methods. - General Orthopaedic Trauma Management:
Research focused on general trauma management practices is less prevalent, possibly due to a shift in emphasis towards specialized care and the management of complex conditions. - Basic Science Research:
There seems to be a reduced emphasis on basic science research within orthopaedics, with a growing preference for clinical applications and translational research that directly impacts patient care. - Single-Condition Studies:
The focus on studies dedicated to single conditions has decreased, as more comprehensive approaches that consider comorbidities and broader patient populations become prioritized. - Invasive Pain Management Techniques:
The exploration of invasive pain management techniques, such as certain surgical interventions for pain relief, appears to be declining in favor of non-invasive and multimodal strategies.
