Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
There is a shift towards more innovative and less invasive techniques, causing traditional methods to receive less emphasis in recent studies. - General Orthopaedic Topics:
The journal is increasingly specializing in knee-specific research, leading to a decrease in the publication of broader orthopaedic topics that do not focus on the knee. - Invasive Procedures without Biologics:
As regenerative medicine gains traction, studies focusing solely on invasive surgical techniques without incorporating biologic adjuncts are becoming less common.
