Physician-created YouTube videos offer superior quality and more comprehensive information on trigger finger release surgery compared to non-physician content. Key areas for improvement include discussing surgical risks, uncertainties, and non-surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • YouTube lacks regulation for high-quality healthcare information.
  • Trigger finger is a common condition requiring hand surgeon referral.
  • Objective evaluation of online trigger finger information is necessary.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on trigger finger release surgery.
  • To compare information quality between physician and non-physician creators.
  • To identify content gaps in online trigger finger information.

Main Methods:

  • Searched YouTube for "trigger finger release surgery" videos (November 2021).
  • Analyzed 59 most-viewed videos, categorizing by physician/non-physician source.

  • Assessed video reliability (JAMA score), quality (DISCERN score), and content (ICS).

    • Main Results:

    • Physician videos demonstrated significantly higher DISCERN quality and informational content scores.
    • Physician videos were more likely to be high-quality and provide complete patient information.
    • All videos lacked detailed discussion on surgical risks, uncertainties, diagnosis, and non-surgical prognosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician-led YouTube content provides higher quality and more comprehensive information on trigger finger release.
    • Significant content deficiencies exist regarding surgical risks, diagnostic clarity, and non-surgical outcomes.
    • Improving online health information requires addressing identified content gaps and promoting expert-led resources.
