Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare publishing characteristics in foot and ankle trauma articles published in two subspecialty journals and two general orthopedic journals. Methods All trauma articles related to foot and ankle surgery published from five different time intervals over a 20-year period were collected and the following was analyzed: authorship, level of evidence, type of study, citations, and geographic region. Results Foot and Ankle International (FAI) had the highest percentage of last and corresponding authors that were fellowship-trained in foot and ankle. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American and British volumes (JBJS(A) and JBJS(B), respectively) and the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma (JOT) articles had a higher percentage of last and corresponding authors that were fellowship-trained in trauma. Conclusion Foot and ankle-trained authors are currently under-represented in foot and ankle trauma literature. As the field of foot and ankle continues to grow, it is important that the experts in the field are well represented in the literature.
背景 本研究的目的是评估和比较发表在两本专科期刊和两本普通骨科期刊上的足踝创伤文章的发表特征。方法 收集了20年期间五个不同时间间隔内发表的所有与足踝手术相关的创伤文章，并对以下内容进行了分析：作者身份、证据水平、研究类型、引用情况和地理区域。结果 《足踝国际》（FAI）中接受足踝专科培训的最后作者和通讯作者的比例最高。《骨与关节外科杂志》美国卷和英国卷（分别为JBJS(A)和JBJS(B)）以及《骨科创伤杂志》（JOT）的文章中，接受创伤专科培训的最后作者和通讯作者的比例更高。结论 在足踝创伤文献中，目前接受足踝专科培训的作者代表性不足。随着足踝领域的不断发展，该领域的专家在文献中有良好的代表性非常重要。
