The authors used various social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter to establish an online community of practice for hand surgeons to facilitate continuous surgical education. They created a LinkedIn group with over 1000 members from around the world to share case discussions, polls, and resources. This allowed surgeons to learn asynchronously while balancing work and daily practice. The social media platforms helped connect surgeons globally, beyond formal structures and borders, following connectivism learning theories where knowledge is shared across networks. The online community proved useful for maintaining continuous surgical education.
