There is an increasing trend towards interdisciplinary research that integrates orthopaedics with fields such as rehabilitation, sports medicine, and biomechanics, fostering comprehensive care models.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
There appears to be a waning focus on traditional surgical techniques that do not incorporate new technologies or minimally invasive approaches, as the field moves towards more innovative and efficient methods. - General Orthopaedic Education:
Topics centered around general orthopaedic education and basic principles are becoming less prominent, possibly overshadowed by more specialized and advanced research. - Longitudinal Studies in Stable Conditions:
Long-term studies assessing stable conditions without significant variations or innovations have decreased, as the journal shifts toward more dynamic and contemporary clinical research. - Basic Research in Orthopaedic Materials:
Research focusing solely on the basic properties of traditional orthopaedic materials, without application to clinical practices or innovative uses, has seen a decline. - Epidemiological Studies without Intervention Focus:
Epidemiological studies that do not propose interventions or solutions to identified issues are less frequently published, as the journal emphasizes actionable research that directly impacts clinical practices.
