Description
Moses El Kayali and co-authors grade TikTok videos about knee osteotomy in a 2026 study. Short videos on bone surgery draw crowds, but their teaching value was unknown. Nearly eight hundred clips surfaced under three search terms. About one hundred ninety met the study's rules.
Three quarters came from private users, and two-thirds shared patient experiences. Clips ran about half a minute on average. Standard quality tools scored reliability and teaching worth. Scores are compared across uploader types and content kinds, and against views and likes. The audit tells surgeons what patients actually watch before deciding on a knee realignment.
