The Society of Military Orthopaedic Surgeons (SOMOS) is a robust academic organization with more than 1,000 members and has held annual academic scientific meetings since 1958. Currently, there is a paucity of data regarding the volume and quality of orthopaedic surgery presentations accepted for peer-reviewed publication. The purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: (1) What is the publication acceptance rate for abstract presented at SOMOS meetings? (2) What is the distribution by orthopaedic subspecialty for SOMOS presentations accepted for publication? (3) What is the overall quality of these publications?
Abstracts of podium presentations at SOMOS were reviewed from 2009 to 2013. Author institutional information was obtained. Abstracts were then queried in PubMed to obtain publication status, time to publication, and impact factor of the journal in which the manuscript was successfully published.
From 2009 to 2013, 592 abstracts were presented at the SOMOS conference. Overall, 59% of abstracts went on to publication at a mean of 18.1 months. Published manuscripts appeared in 59 journals with a mean impact factor of 2.6. The subspecialties of spine (67%) and basic science (66%) achieved the highest abstract publication rate while sports had the highest mean impact factor (3.3).
The annual SOMOS meeting is a productive academic event, producing quality presentations resulting in a high manuscript publication rate in every orthopaedic surgery subspecialty. This is the first series to demonstrate overall productivity of a general orthopaedic surgery scientific meeting as well as the subspecialty-specific impact factors of published investigations.
军事骨科医师协会（SOMOS）是一个拥有1000多名会员的活跃学术组织，自1958年以来每年举办学术科学会议。目前，关于被同行评审出版物接受的骨科手术报告的数量和质量的数据匮乏。本研究的目的是回答以下问题：（1）在SOMOS会议上发表的摘要的出版接受率是多少？（2）被接受出版的SOMOS报告在骨科亚专业中的分布情况如何？（3）这些出版物的整体质量如何？
回顾了2009年至2013年在SOMOS上进行的讲台报告摘要。获取了作者所在机构的信息。然后在PubMed中查询摘要，以获得出版状态、出版时间以及手稿成功发表的期刊的影响因子。
2009年至2013年，在SOMOS会议上共发表了592篇摘要。总体而言，59%的摘要最终得以发表，平均发表时间为18.1个月。发表的手稿发表在59种期刊上，平均影响因子为2.6。脊柱（67%）和基础科学（66%）亚专业的摘要出版率最高，而运动医学的平均影响因子最高（3.3）。
SOMOS年度会议是一个富有成效的学术活动，产生了高质量的报告，在每个骨科手术亚专业中都有很高的手稿出版率。这是首个展示普通骨科手术科学会议整体产出率以及已发表研究的亚专业特定影响因子的系列研究。
