Objective: To assess the applicability of randomized clinical trials and whether certain factors (surgeon experience/journal impact factor) influence their applicability.
Methods: In this survey study we used the Pubmed/Medline database to select 32 consecutive randomized clinical trials published between 2013 and 2015, involving hand surgery (high/low impact). These studies were independently assessed by 20 hand surgeons (with more or less than 10 years of practice) who answered 4 questions regarding their applicability.
