The impact of social media for shoulder surgeons: a prevalence and correlation study with online and academic presence
Social media involvement and overall online presence is positively associated with surgeon ratings and number of reviews and comments on physician rating websites, including Healthgrades, Google Reviews, and Vitals. Increased activity on Twitter/X and Instagram is also associated with an increased h-index. Social media involvement using web-based marketing tools continues to emerge in shoulder surgery by offering surgeons an outlet to reach patients and promote literature.
