Instagram and Traumatic Spine Injury: An Analysis of Social Media Altmetrics
Reported traumatic spine injury-related content has not been evaluated through social media avenues. This analysis demonstrates the leading role of surgeons in posting and educating the audience regarding traumatic spine injury, with the highest audience interest in survivor stories and pathologies. Our findings advance our knowledge of how social media portrays spine trauma, highlighting opportunities for future research and emphasizing the need for careful consideration of ethical and methodological challenges in social media studies related to medicine.
