Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status and developing trends of study of adult radial head fracture and its treatment.Methods:The literature related to radial head fracture from January 2010 to September 2022 was reviewed through Web of science database. A bibliometric method and visualization software were used to study all the data collected and the 100 most-cited studies related to the treatment of radial head fracture to understand the research status, related cooperation, research trends and research hotspots in the field of adult radial head fracture.Results:A total of 387 studies were included, with a citation frequency of 4,982 times, an average citation frequency of 12.9 times for each study, and an H index of 36. The most studies were published in 2020 (38 studies). The citation frequency increased year by year, reaching the highest (783 times) in 2019. For the 100 most-cited studies, the citation frequency was 2,235 times, and the average citation frequency was 22.4 times for each study. The United States (100 studies), Harvard University (30 studies), Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (69 studies), and Ring D (19 studies) were, respectively, the most contributing country/region, institution, journal, and author. The country/region, institution, and author that participated the most in the collaboration were, respectively, the United States, Amphia Hospital, and Eygendaal D. Radial head fractures of Mason types Ⅱ and Ⅲ and combined with other elbow fractures and dislocations have attracted the intense attention since 2010. The current research hotspots are combined injuries and radial head prosthesis. Conclusion:Analysis of the bibliometric characteristics of the literature related to adult radial head fracture since 2010 displays the current research status and research hotspots to help following researchers to fully understand the historical development and recent hotspots in the field of adult radial head fracture.
