Abstract

The quality of videos about talus osteochondral defect (OCD) and arthroscopic surgery has not been evaluated previously. The aim of this study was to interpret the quality and sufficiency of YouTubeTM videos about talus OCD and arthroscopic surgery. MethodsThe present study is a quality control study of videos on OCD and their arthroscopic treatment. The videos were interpreted in terms of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), DISCERN (Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information), The Global Quality Score (GQS) and Talus OCD - Specific Score (TOCDSS) by two blinded observers to assess the accuracy of these methods. ResultsInter-observer agreement was "very high" for JAMA, DISCERN, and TOCDSS, while "high" for GQS. There was a statistical relationship and a positive correlation between the scoring systems. ConclusionThe content and quality of YouTubeTM videos about talus OCD and arthroscopic treatment are insufficient.
