    Medical photography: principles for orthopedics
    (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-01-01) Uzun, Metin; Bulbul, Murat; Toker, Serdar; Beksac, Burak; Kara, Adnan
    Background: Medical photography is used clinically for patient evaluation, treatment decisions, and scientific documentation. Although standards for medical photography exist in many branches of medicine, we have not encountered such criteria in publications in the area of orthopedics. Purpose: This study aims to (1) assess the quality of medical images used in an orthopedic publication and (2) to propose standards for medical photography in this area. Methods: Clinical photographs were reviewed from all issues of a journal published between the years 2008 and 2012. A quality of clinical images was developed based on the criteria published for the specialties of dermatology and cosmetic surgery. All images were reviewed on the appropriateness of background, patient preparation, and technique. Results: In this study, only 44.9\% of clinical images in an orthopedic publication adhered to the proposed conventions. Conclusions: Standards have not been established for medical photography in orthopedics as in other specialty areas. Our results suggest that photographic clinical information in orthopedic publications may be limited by inadequate presentation. We propose that formal conventions for clinical images should be established.

    Assessment of the Quality and Reliability of the Information on Rotator Cuff Repair on YouTube
    (ELSEVIER MASSON, CORP OFF, 2020-01-01) Celik, Haluk; Polat, Omer; Ozcan, Cagri; Camur, Savas; Kilinc, Bekir Eray; Uzun, Metin
    Introduction: YouTube has become a common health information source for patients. Recent studies have determined that videos on YouTube contain misleading and inappropriate information for different medical conditions. The aim of the present study was to assess the quality and reliability of videos pertaining to rotator cuff (RC) repair surgery. Hypothesis: YouTube users prefer watching videos with high educational quality which are provided by physicians. Material and methods: A search was performed using keywords ``rotator cuff surgery{''} and ``rotator cuff repair{''} on YouTube and the first 100 videos for each keyword were analyzed. Video source, time since upload, duration, and number of views, likes, and dislikes were recorded. Video popularity was reported using the video power index (VPI) and view ratio. Video educational quality was measured using the recognized DISCERN, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score and a novel RC-specific score (RCSS). Results: Among the 200 videos identified, 67 were included. The mean duration was 7.7 minutes and the mean number of the views was 147,430. Videos uploaded by a physician had significantly higher DISCERN, JAMA, and RCSS (p < 0.001). While the main video source was physicians (48\%), the most popular videos were uploaded by patients and commercial websites, according to the VPI and view ratios. The number of likes, view ratios, and VPI were negatively correlated with each score. There were negative correlations between duration and VPI scores, and positive correlations with DISCERN, JAMA score, and RCSS. Animated videos showed significantly lower results for all quality scores (p <0.05), while their VPI was significantly higher (p < 0.01). Discussion: Online information on RC repair surgery provided by YouTube was low quality, despite being mostly uploaded by physicians and having relatively higher quality scores. YouTube users prefer watching low quality videos which were provided by patients and commercial websites. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
