The purpose of this study was to look for the reliability and quality of videos on tennis elbow arthroscopy on YouTube.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used three search terms on YouTube \u201ctennis elbow arthroscopic surgery,\u201d \u201cArthroscopic ECRB release,\u201d and \u201cArthroscopic debridement for tennis elbow,\u201d and screened the first 50 videos according to popularity. The videos were included from 2009 to date. Only videos in the English language were included. Repeated videos and videos without sound were excluded. A total of 74 videos were selected for this study and reliability was checked with DISCERN and journal of the American medical association (JAMA) scores. The quality was assessed with the Global Quality Score Criteria (GQSC) score and TEARS (a novel score). Popularity was tested with the video power index (VPI). A pilot study was conducted using 20 videos to validate the TEARS score.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the pilot study, TEARS showed results in accordance with other scores used. The average number of views was 41,644.97, and the average duration was 5.03\u2009\u00b1\u20093.39 years. The mean value of DISCERN and JAMA was found to be 21.47\u2009\u00b1\u20096.28 and 1.05\u2009\u00b1\u20090.92, respectively. GQSC, TEARS, and VPI were found to be 1.70\u2009\u00b1\u20090.82, 4.17\u2009\u00b1\u20092.62, and 769,936.9\u2009\u00b1\u20096,538,851.37.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most of the videos were educational and physicians were targeted. The USA was the major contributor to such videos. The reliability and quality of these videos were found to be of poor quality. The video popularity was however found to be relatively high. The inter-observer reliability was good. Based on the findings, we conclude that the videos are not reliable and could not be used for learning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jwas.jwas_18_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,11]],"date-time":"2023-12-11T08:18:44Z","timestamp":1702282724000},"page":"26-34","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reliability and usefulness of YouTube as a source of informative media for arthroscopic tennis elbow surgery: A systematic review of the published videos"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Arghya Kundu","family":"Choudhury","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shivam","family":"Bansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Balgovind S.","family":"Raja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Souvik","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, AMRI Mukundapur, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sachin","family":"Chaubey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roop Bhushan","family":"Kalia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"CIT0002-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"938","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.2015.5841","article-title":"Management of lateral elbow tendinopathy: One size does not fit all","volume":"45","author":"Coombes","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Orthop Sports Phys Ther"},{"key":"CIT0003-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1260","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.01.042","article-title":"A systematic review of tennis elbow surgery: Open versus arthroscopic versus percutaneous release of the common extensor origin","volume":"33","author":"Pierce","year":"2017","journal-title":"Arthroscopy"},{"key":"CIT0004-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"574","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200810000-00003","article-title":"Elbow arthroscopy","volume":"16","author":"Dodson","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg"},{"key":"CIT0005-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e82469","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0082469","article-title":"Is content really king?
