Abstract

Introduction

The aim of this study is to analyse the most cited articles in shoulder arthroplasty surgery and identify trends in topics by decade.

Methods

Journal Citation Index Web of Science (WoS) was searched to find articles using the search terms “shoulder arthroplasty”, “shoulder hemiarthroplasty”, “shoulder replacement” and “shoulder prosthesis”. All articles were ranked according to most cited overall and most cited between 2022 and 2023, and then further analysed to find the most cited articles per decade. Articles were studies for topic, study type, evidence level and number of subjects. A second search was performed using Google Scholar (GS) with the same search terms.

Results

All the most cited articles were published in 4 orthopaedic journals. Citation counts were higher for GS searches than WoS for every article, by an average of 1.92 times. Each decade's most cited articles seemed to fit into a few broad topics, showing trends in that decade. The highest cited papers were generally low-level evidence studies.

Conclusion

Shoulder arthroplasty literature appears to follow trends throughout the decade. High quality evidence is lacking in the highest cited papers, but this study highlights the importance and value of these lower-evidence breakthrough studies, which have shaped shoulder arthroplasty surgery.

期刊介绍： Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
