Accessible online orthopaedic oncology information is scarce. Few patient and provider websites meet quality standards, unlike resources for other cancers, highlighting a need for more reliable web-based medical data.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Oncology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Web Science

Background:

  • Patients increasingly use the internet for medical information.
  • Accessible, comprehensive online resources are crucial for patient education and care.
  • Orthopaedic oncology information availability online is not well-characterized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the availability and quality of online orthopaedic oncology resources for patients and healthcare professionals.
  • To compare the landscape of orthopaedic oncology web resources with those of other cancer types.

Main Methods:

  • Searched three major search engines for orthopaedic oncology information sites.
  • Evaluated 70 retrieved sites using two independent raters.
  • Included an additional nine sites recommended by Musculoskeletal Tumor Society members.

Main Results:

  • Only five patient-focused and seven professional-focused sites met inclusion criteria.
  • Of the included sites, just one patient site and one professional site were peer-reviewed.
  • The number of available orthopaedic oncology sites is significantly lower than for other cancers like melanoma or bladder cancer.

Conclusions:

  • There is a relative scarcity of high-quality, accessible online information for orthopaedic oncology.
  • The limited availability and peer-review status of current sites pose challenges for patients and professionals seeking reliable web-based data.
  • Development of more comprehensive and vetted online resources is needed in orthopaedic oncology.
