Key Words Orthopedic surgery; Orthopedic research; Research productivity; Research barriers; Research training; Saudi Arabia
Core Tip Research productivity among orthopedic surgeons in Saudi Arabia remains limited due to restricted research time, insufficient support staff, and a lack of formal research training. This cross-sectional study highlights the key barriers and motivations influencing research engagement across various practice levels. Addressing these institutional and educational gaps is essential to strengthening orthopedic research capacity and enhancing national academic output.
