Through establishing a focus group comprising two attending orthopaedic surgeons (sports\u2010medicine fellowship trained), one orthopaedic surgery resident, and three medical students, and using ChatGPT, the 50 most commonly searched questions regarding meniscus surgery were identified. The mean relative search volume (RSV) was identified and compared for 50 search terms. RSV extends from 0 to 100, with 0 representing no public interest, and 100 representing maximal public interest.
