Trends in Osteopathic Authorship in Orthopedic Publications and Its Impact on Adult Reconstruction Match Rates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Doctors of osteopathy (D.O.) have historically been underrepresented in the orthopedic literature. As adult reconstruction (AR) continues to rank among the most competitive orthopedic fellowships, participation in research likely serves a key role for successfully matching. This study sought to identify trends in D.O. orthopedic publications and assess for correlations between these trends and osteopathic AR match results.

Methods

The top 10 orthopedic surgery journals based on impact factor were selected for analysis. Articles published between 2010 and 2021 were screened to assess for publications with a D.O. author, as well as authorship position. A total of 29,499 articles were available for final analysis. Data from the San Francisco Residency and Fellowship
