The purpose of the current brief communication is to establish a discussion regarding level of expertise (LOE) documentation in future arthroplasty clinical studies and to document the trend in adoption of LOE among arthroplasty publications to date. A review of (), (), and () databases for original studies published between April 2016 and July 2020 was performed. A total of 105 articles were identified and evaluated in , 1011 in , 127 in , and 383 in . Of 1011 articles identified in , only one manuscript (1/1011; 0.1%), by Uluyardimci et.al, included the LOE of the surgeon(s) involved in the study. No articles in (0/125; 0%), (0/127; 0%), or (0/383; 0%) reported the LOE according to Tang's recommendations during the same period. Documenting LOE may provide readers with additional information for incorporation of novel techniques into their practices as well as identify procedures that require a baseline LOE for effective performance. Further evaluation of LOE criteria may improve the reliability of the numeric scale, while widespread adoption of this scale will allow future outcome analysis by LOE.
本简短通讯的目的是就未来关节置换临床研究中的专业水平（LOE）记录展开讨论，并记录迄今为止关节置换出版物中采用LOE的趋势。对2016年4月至2020年7月期间发表的原始研究的（）、（）和（）数据库进行了回顾。在（）中总共识别并评估了105篇文章，在（）中为1011篇，在（）中为127篇，在（）中为383篇。在（）中识别出的1011篇文章中，只有Uluyardimci等人的一篇手稿（1/1011；0.1%）纳入了参与研究的外科医生的LOE。同期，（）（0/125；0%）、（）（0/127；0%）或（）（0/383；0%）中没有文章根据Tang的建议报告LOE。记录LOE可为读者提供将新技术纳入其实践的额外信息，并识别有效实施需要基线LOE的程序。对LOE标准的进一步评估可能会提高数字量表的可靠性，而该量表的广泛采用将允许未来按LOE进行结果分析。
