“…Second, publishing within the last 20 years may be easier, given the sharp increase in the number of medical journals in print. 10 Since the 1990s, the number of active peer-reviewed journals has nearly doubled. Surgeons who completed their training over 30 years ago had fewer publishing opportunities than young physicians today, solely due to the number of journals available.…”

“…[7][8][9] In addition, prior research has shown that plastic surgeons who have undergone dedicated research training were more likely to achieve full professorship and obtain NIH funding for their investigations. 10 However, there is conflicting evidence across specialties as to whether publication record has a statistically significant impact on postresidency research productivity.…”

Objective: To elucidate trends in publication productivity over the past 50 years and how they correlate with the stage of training as well as the competitiveness of residency and fellowship programs. The authors hypothesize that research qualifications play an important role in obtaining a competitively ranked craniofacial surgery fellowship and that over the past 50 years, there has been an upward shift in the research qualifications held by applicants at the time of application. Design: A cross-sectional study was performed involving all 121 academic craniofacial surgeons in the United States for whom sex, years since fellowship, current institution rank, current academic position, and years since graduation were available. Main Outcome Measures: The relationship between research qualifications, as determined by the overall number of publications, number of first authorship publications, H-index scores, and years since fellowship completion, was examined. The study also analyzed the placement of surgeons at programs ranked in the top 25 versus the lower 25. Results: As the number of decades since beginning craniofacial fellowship decreased, the average number of first authorship publications and average H-index increased. Those who attended higher-ranking residency and fellowship programs had a higher average number of publications, number of first authorship publications, and H-index. Conclusions: Over the past 5 decades, research productivity at all stages of medical training has surged, potentially fueled by the trend toward pass/fail grading in medical school evaluations and standardized exams and the need to differentiate oneself in an increasingly competitive field.

Abstract: CONCLUSION:The TSD demonstrates tremendous potential for complex multi-tendon traumas by drastically reducing the learning curve, operative and warm ischemia times, overall cost, and surgeon variability based on experience and repair strength.
