The articles were sorted into different topic domains to identify the 3 most common categories of publication. The top 3 domains were further characterized by level of evidence (LOE) as well as citations.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The 3 most published topics in foot and ankle literature were hallux valgus (8.3%), total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) (8.3%), and ankle fracture (6.6%). These 3 subjects accounted for 351 articles (23.2%). Other common topics were patient-reported outcomes (5.0%), osteochondritis dissecans (3.9%), syndesmotic injury (3.8%), ankle instability (3.7%), hallux rigidus (3.0%), and anatomy (2.8%). The average LOE for articles on hallux valgus, TAA, and ankle fracture was 3.27 from\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">FAI<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and the average number of annual citations for a given article in both journals was 3.05. Based on our study, there is no correlation between LOE and number of overall citations, but there is a significant, negative linear correlation in ankle fracture data. We also found that articles on TAA had the highest impact factor and that articles from\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">FAI<\/jats:italic>\n                      were cited more often than articles from\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">FAS.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The 3 most published topics in foot and ankle literature comprise only 23.2% of all articles.
