Özet

Background: Previous studies have determined the videos on YouTube (R) have misleading information in medicine, however the assessment of the information for hallux valgus surgery is lacking. Methods: YouTube (R) was analyzed using two keywords as 'hallux valgus surgery' and 'bunion surgery'. Once redundancies were eliminated, each video was evaluated for the characteristic as following: duration, number of views, likes and dislikes, days since upload, view and like ratios and video power index (VPI). The quality of the information was evaluated using DISCERN, JAMA and hallux valgus score (HVS).Results: A total of 49 videos included. Fair or poor results for DISCERN and HVS (90% and 69% of videos, respectively) were found. No difference was found between video source and quality scores. Number of likes and VPI negatively correlated with all scores (p < 0.001).Conclusions: YouTube (R) had poor quality of information for hallux valgus surgery. (c) 2021 European Foot and Ankle Society.
