Abstract

The authors reflect on the impact of the #OrthoTwitter community on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on the careers of orthopaedic surgery professionals and its use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics discussed include the characterization of the extent of the use of the #OrthoTwitter community using Twitter's Academic Research Developer Application Programming Interface, and the opportunity offered by the growth of the community's engagement for orthopaedic surgeons.
