摘要
胫骨干骨折(TSFs)是骨科中常见的一种表现,最常见于高能量创伤后的年轻男性。这些骨折的适当处理是至关重要的,确保患者有最好的机会实现功能恢复。尽管对tsf进行了大量的研究,但与这种损伤有关的科学证据的质量和各种趋势仍然很差。我们分析的目的是在与tsf相关的50个被引用最多的出版物中确定这些趋势。方法利用Web of Science平台进行文献计量分析,报告被引频次最高的50篇与tsf相关的文献。使用明确的纳入和排除标准对出版物进行筛选。报告了机构、作者、证据水平和患者人口统计等特征。结果被引最多的50篇论文共被引10407次,其中被引最多的研究被引1075次。治疗结果(66%)和手术技术(32%)是大多数出版物的主要焦点。回顾性队列研究和病例对照研究几乎占研究的一半(48%),其中许多为III级证据。麦克马斯特大学医院是发表研究最多的机构,《骨与关节外科杂志》发表了大部分研究文章。结论目前已有很多文献报道了椎弓根瘘的治疗效果以及如何减少手术固定后骨不连的发生率。然而,大量的出版物证据不足,被认为是回顾性的。根据这一分析,未来的研究应旨在产生更高质量的研究,并将重点放在最有希望或最有影响的领域,例如重组人骨形态发生蛋白-2在髓内钉入tsf中的应用。
Tibial shaft fractures: A bibliometric analysis of the top 50 most cited publications
Background
Tibial shaft fractures (TSFs) are a frequent presentation within orthopaedics, most often occurring in young males following a high energy trauma. The appropriate management of these fractures is crucial, ensuring patients have the best chance at achieving a functional recovery. In spite of the vast number of studies conducted on TSFs, the quality of scientific evidence and various trends related to this injury remains poor. The aim of our analysis is to identify these trends within the 50 most cited publications pertaining to TSFs.
Methods
A bibliometric analysis was carried out using the Web of Science platform to report the 50 most cited publications associated with TSFs. The publications were screened using definite inclusion and exclusion criteria. Features such as institution, authorship, level of evidence and patient demographics were reported.
Results
The 50 most cited publications in total listed 10, 407 citations, with the most cited study receiving 1075 citations. Treatment outcomes (66 %) and surgical technique (32 %) were the primary focus of the majority of the publications. Retrospective cohort and case control studies made up almost half of the studies (48 %), many being of level III evidence. The McMaster University Hospital was the institution that produced the greatest number of studies, with the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery having published most of the articles.
Conclusion
Many publications exist related to TSFs, primarily focusing on treatment outcomes and how to minimize the incidence of non-union following surgical fixation. However, a significant number of the publications were of low evidence and were identified as being retrospective in nature. Following this analysis, future research should aim to produce studies of a higher quality and focus on areas that carry the most promise or influence, such as the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 in intramedullary nailing of TSFs.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
