Abstract

As the movement toward evidence-based medicine grows and publication rates rise each year, critical analysis of the orthopedic literature has become increasingly important. To aid readers in assessing the scientific quality of published research, Foot & Ankle International ( FAI) began assigning levels of evidence to all clinical articles in 2008. The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in the characteristics and levels of evidence of articles published in FAI between 2000 and 2015.
