Abstract

Background and Aims

Nonunion of fractures continue to be the most challenging complication. The increased interest in this area has been anecdotally recognized through published research. The study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on nonunion and delayed union of fractures to identify key trends, hotspots, and potential areas for future research development.

Methods

Using a pre-defined search strategy, articles related to “Nonunion and Delayed Union of Fractures” that were published from January 1st, 2004 to December 31st, 2023, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection for scientometric analysis. The bibliometrics method was used to analyze the publication dates, countries, institutions, journals, authors, highly cited literature and research hotspots.

Results

A total of 1997 publications were identified, which registered an average of 21.42 citations per paper (CPP). The 30.39 % and 3.55 % of the 1997 global publications have received external funding support and were highly-cited papers, respectively. The USA, China and UK, were the most productive countries, while Canada, Scotland, and Belgium registered the highest citation impact. University Leeds, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Kobe University were the most productive organizations, while Vanderbilt University, University of Edinburgh and University Leeds registered the highest citation impact. Giannoudis PV, Egol KA, and Konda SR were the most productive authors, while Bhandari M, Mehta S, and Schemitsch EH registered the highest citation impact. Injury, Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma and Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery contributed the most papers, while Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American, Injury and Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research registered the highest citation impact per paper.

Conclusion

The present bibliometric analysis shows the characteristics and trends of non-union fracture research and illuminates the current research situation and developmental trends.

全球骨折延迟和不愈合研究的科学计量分析（2004-2023 年）：从科学网核心数据库中获得的启示

背景和目的骨折不愈合仍然是最具挑战性的并发症。通过已发表的研究报告，人们对这一领域的兴趣日益浓厚。本研究旨在对全球有关骨折不愈合和延迟愈合的研究进行全面的文献计量学分析，以确定关键趋势、热点和未来研究发展的潜在领域。方法采用预先确定的搜索策略，从科学网核心数据库中检索 2004 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 12 月 31 日期间发表的与 "骨折不愈合和延迟愈合 "相关的文章，进行科学计量学分析。结果共发现 1997 篇论文，平均每篇论文被引用 21.42 次（CPP）。在 1997 年发表的全球论文中，分别有 30.39% 和 3.55% 的论文获得了外部资金支持，并属于高被引论文。美国、中国和英国是论文产量最高的国家，而加拿大、苏格兰和比利时的论文被引用次数最多。利兹大学、上海交通大学和神户大学是成果最多的机构，而范德比尔特大学、爱丁堡大学和利兹大学的论文被引用的次数最多。Giannoudis PV、Egol KA 和 Konda SR 是成果最多的作者，而 Bhandari M、Mehta S 和 Schemitsch EH 的引用影响最大。伤害》、《创伤骨科杂志》和《骨科和创伤外科档案》发表的论文最多，而《美国骨与关节外科杂志》、《伤害》和《临床骨科及相关研究》的单篇论文引用影响力最高。
