The Internet is a popular source of information regarding health care especially when seeking advice on new and less invasive surgical techniques. We evaluated 150 Web sites (3 search engines) for authorship and quality of information regarding minimally invasive hip arthroplasty. The results revealed that 45% were authored by a hospital/university, 26% were news stories, 25% were private medical groups, and 6% were orthopedic industry Web sites. Forty-five percent offered the opportunity to make an appointment, 41% described the surgical technique, and only 15% explained eligibility. Thirteen percent described the risks, whereas 9% made reference to peer-reviewed publications. More than 91% made specific claims regarding the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. Our study suggests the information on the Internet regarding minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty is misleading and of poor quality.
互联网是获取医疗保健信息的一个热门来源，尤其是在寻求有关新型和侵入性较小的外科手术技术的建议时。我们评估了150个网站（3个搜索引擎）关于微创髋关节置换术的信息来源和质量。结果显示，45%由医院/大学撰写，26%是新闻报道，25%是私立医疗集团，6%是骨科行业网站。45%提供预约机会，41%描述了手术技术，只有15%解释了适用条件。13%描述了风险，而9%提及了同行评审出版物。超过91%对微创手术的优势提出了具体主张。我们的研究表明，互联网上关于微创全髋关节置换术的信息具有误导性且质量较差。
