Abstract

Background

Podcasts and webinars have been increasingly used in medical education, particularly as a lifeline during the pandemic to ensure continued education. The aim of this study is to review literature exploring the use of podcasts and webinars as educational tools in orthopaedics by consolidating evidence of their benefits, challenges, and potential for future integration into orthopaedic training.

Methods

A literature search was performed across: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, CINAHL and Scopus using selected MeSH terms and search terms related to podcasts, webinars and orthopaedic education across the years 2015–2025. Studies were reviewed by two independent authors using predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Key findings were collated in a database.

Results

A total of 22 articles were selected for review, with 11 studies referencing podcasts and 11 on the use of webinars. Studies generally reported a positive impact of these methods in orthopaedic education with highly rated reviews from trainees based on Likert scales, numerical rating scales and qualitative feedback.

Conclusion

Podcasts and webinars are a valuable tool in orthopaedics and their use has addressed issues with traditional learning approaches. For continued growth, further effort is required for quality control and improving accessibility to maximise educational potential in orthopaedic training.

“调整学习”：骨科教育播客和网络研讨会的范围审查

背景：播客和网络研讨会越来越多地用于医学教育，特别是作为大流行期间确保继续教育的生命线。本研究的目的是回顾文献，探讨播客和网络研讨会作为骨科教育工具的使用，巩固其益处、挑战和未来整合到骨科培训中的潜力。方法在PubMed、Cochrane Library、EBSCOhost、CINAHL和Scopus中检索2015-2025年间与播客、网络研讨会和骨科教育相关的MeSH术语和检索词，进行文献检索。研究由两位独立作者使用预定义的纳入/排除标准进行审查。主要的发现被整理在一个数据库中。结果共选取22篇文献进行综述，其中11篇文献涉及播客，11篇文献涉及网络研讨会。研究普遍报告了这些方法在骨科教育中的积极影响，学员基于李克特量表、数值评定量表和定性反馈给出了很高的评价。结论播客和网络研讨会是一种有价值的骨科学习工具，其使用解决了传统学习方法存在的问题。为了持续增长，需要进一步努力进行质量控制和改善可及性，以最大限度地发挥骨科培训的教育潜力。

期刊介绍： Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
