Kilkenny CJ, Farooq F, Hurley ET, Daly GR, Dowling GP, Whelehan SP, Mullett H. A bibliometric analysis of the top 50 cited studies related to acromioclavicular joint instability. J Orthop 2024; 58:46-51. [PMID: 39050808 PMCID: PMC11263472 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2024.06.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) injury is a common orthopaedic condition accounting for over 40 % of all shoulder injuries. The purpose of this study is to assess the research trends and characteristics of the top 50 cited articles on ACJ instability. Methods A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science to identify articles primarily related to ACJ injury or instability. Characteristics including citation number, country of origin, journal and institution of publication, impact factor, authorship, level of evidence, patient demographics, and study type were analyzed and recorded. Results Research output on ACJ instability has been steadily increasing, with the top 50 cited studies predominantly presenting Level IV evidence. These studies primarily focused on treatment outcomes which included predominantly male patients and exhibited a large variation in citation counts. The American Journal of Sports Medicine was the most productive journal, and the USA was the most productive nation. Conclusion There is an increasing number of publications in the ACJ instability literature, primarily concentrated in a few institutions and journals, and focusing mainly on treatment outcomes. A significant portion of these publications are of low scientific quality, and there is a notable lack of research on outcomes for females.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Bibliometric analysis. OBJECTIVE Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has emerged as an effective surgical intervention for degenerative cervical disc disease with potential advantages over traditional cervical fusion. This bibliometric analysis aimed to assess the current state of research on CDA by analyzing the relevant literature using bibliometric indicators. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Web of Science Core Collection. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted using the Web of Science database, for articles related to CDA published in the last 19 years. The top 100 articles were reviewed using bibliometric analysis. Publication trends, citation patterns, authorship, and collaboration networks were analyzed using VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix package in RStudio. RESULTS The results revealed a significant increase in the number of publications related to CDA over the past 2 decades, with most of the articles being published in orthopedic and spine surgery journals. The most frequently cited articles were related to clinical outcomes, complications, and biomechanical studies of CDA. Co-authorship analysis identified influential authors and collaborative networks, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of CDA research involving neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and engineers. Overall, this bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on CDA, highlighting the key research themes, influential authors, and collaborative networks in the field. CONCLUSION These findings can serve as a guide for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to identify knowledge gaps, research trends, and future directions in the field of CDA.

A Century of Evolution in Spine Surgery Publications: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Field From 1900 to 2023. Neurosurgery 2023; 93:1121-1143. [PMID: 37610208 DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Spine surgery has advanced in concert with our deeper understanding of its elements. Narrowly focused bibliometric analyses have been conducted previously, but never on the entire corpus of the field. Using big data and bibliometrics, we appraised the entire corpus of spine surgery publications to study the evolution of the specialty as a scholarly field since 1900. METHODS We queried Web of Science for all contents from 13 major publications dedicated to spine surgery. We next queried by topic [topic = (spine OR spinal OR vertebrae OR vertebral OR intervertebral OR disc OR disk)]; these results were filtered to include articles published by 49 other publications that were manually determined to contain pertinent articles. Articles, along with their metadata, were exported. Statistical and bibliometric analyses were performed using the Bibliometrix R package and various Python packages. RESULTS Eighty-five thousand five hundred articles from 62 journals and 134 707 unique authors were identified. The annual growth rate of publications was 2.78%, with a surge after 1980, concurrent with the growth of specialized journals. International coauthorship, absent before 1970, increased exponentially with the formation of influential spine study groups. Reference publication year spectroscopy allowed us to identify 200 articles that comprise the historical roots of modern spine surgery and each of its subdisciplines. We mapped the emergence of new topics and saw a recent lexical evolution toward outcomes- and patient-centric terms. Female and minority coauthorship has increased since 1990, but remains low, and disparities across major publications persist. CONCLUSION The field of spine surgery was borne from pioneering individuals who published their findings in a variety of journals. The renaissance of spine surgery has been powered by international collaboration and is increasingly outcomes focused. While spine surgery is gradually becoming more diverse, there is a clear need for further promotion and outreach to under-represented populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bruxism is an umbrella term that encompass a multidimensional spectrum of masticatory muscle activities. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to do a bibliometric analysis including citation performance in the research topic of bruxism, by using an innovative method including details of article title, author keyword, KeyWords Plus and abstracts. METHODS The data were retrieved 2022-12-19 from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection, and the online version of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) for studies published 1992 to 2021. To evaluate research trends, the distribution of keywords in the article title and author-selected keywords were used. RESULTS The search yielded 3233 documents in SCI-EXPANDED, of which 2598 were of the document-type 'articles' published in 676 journals. The analysis of the articles revealed that "bruxism/sleep bruxism," "electromyography," "temporomandibular disorders" and "masticatory muscles" are the most used keywords by the authors. Further, the most frequently cited study was published 9 years ago and handles the present definition of bruxism. CONCLUSION The most productive authors and those with the highest performance have some common features; they have several national and international collaborations; and they have published articles about the definition, aetiology/pathophysiology and prevalence of bruxism, all senior researchers in the field of TMD. Hopefully, based on this study, researchers and clinicians will have information to be stimulated to outline future research projects on bruxism-related aspects, and to initiate new international or multinational collaborations.

Abstract
Background To introduce a hybrid surgery of posterior craniovertebral fusion plus subaxial laminoplasty for atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) coexisting with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Methods A retrospective study was performed by reviewing data from 23 patients with the coexistence of AAD and CSM who underwent the hybrid technique (n = 23). Clinical outcomes, including visual analogue scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), and neck disability index (NDI) score, and radiological cervical alignment parameters including C0-2 and C2-7 Cobb angle and range of motion (ROM) were analyzed. The operation time, blood loss, surgical levels, and complications were recorded. Results The included patients were followed up with an average of 20.91 months (range, 12-36 months). Clinical outcomes including JOA, NDI, and VAS scores were significantly improved at different postoperative follow-up points. C0-2 Cobb angle, C2-7 Cobb angle, and ROM showed a stable tendency after 1-year follow-up. No major perioperative complications occurred. Conclusion This study underlined the importance of pathologic condition of AAD coexisting with CSM and presented a novel hybrid approach of posterior craniovertebral fusion plus subaxial laminoplasty. This hybrid surgery was effective in achieving the desired clinical outcomes and better maintaining cervical alignment, proving its value and safety as an alternative technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with "sandwich" fusion (concomitant C1 occipitalization and C2-C3 nonsegmentation), a subtype of Klippel-Feil syndrome, are at particular risk for developing atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD). However, the clinical and surgical characteristics of AAD in patients with sandwich fusion have not been clearly defined. METHODS A retrospective case-control study with a large sample size and a minimum 2-year follow-up was performed. From 2000 to 2018, 253 patients with sandwich AAD underwent a surgical procedure; these patients constituted the case group, and a matching number of patients with non-sandwich AAD were randomly selected to form the control group. Clinical data from electronic medical records and various imaging studies were analyzed and compared. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scale was used to evaluate neurological function. RESULTS Patients with sandwich AAD, compared with patients with non-sandwich AAD, had symptom onset at a younger age (34.8 compared with 42.8 years; p < 0.001) and had a higher likelihood for myelopathy (87.4% compared with 74.7%; p < 0.001). Patients with sandwich AAD had a higher incidence of lower cranial nerve palsy (7.9% compared with 0.0%; p < 0.001), a lower preoperative JOA score (13.4 compared with 14.2; p < 0.001), and higher incidences of accompanying Type-I Chiari malformation (20.9% compared with 1.2%; p < 0.001) and syringomyelia (21.3% compared with 1.6%; p < 0.001). Finally, patients with sandwich AAD had higher likelihoods of undergoing transoral release (28.5% compared with 5.1%; p < 0.001) and use of salvage fixation techniques (34.4% compared with 6.3%; p < 0.001), and had lower postoperative results for the JOA score (14.9 compared with 15.9; p < 0.001) and improvement rate (43.8% compared with 58.2%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with sandwich AAD demonstrated distinct clinical manifestations. Versatility involving the use of various internal fixation techniques and transoral release procedures was frequently required in the surgical management of these patients, and meticulous and personalized preoperative planning would be of paramount importance. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Presentation and physical therapy management of upper cervical instability in patients with symptomatic generalized joint hypermobility: International expert consensus recommendations. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 9:1072764. [PMID: 36743665 PMCID: PMC9893781 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.1072764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Experts in symptomatic generalized joint hypermobility (S-GJH) agree that upper cervical instability (UCI) needs to be better recognized in S-GJH, which commonly presents in the clinic as generalized hypermobility spectrum disorder and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. While mild UCI may be common, it can still be impactful; though considerably less common, severe UCI can potentially be debilitating. UCI includes both atlanto-occipital and atlantoaxial instability. In the absence of research or published literature describing validated tests or prediction rules, it is not clear what signs and symptoms are most important for diagnosis of UCI. Similarly, healthcare providers lack agreed-upon ways to screen and classify different types or severity of UCI and how to manage UCI in this population. Consequently, recognition and management of UCI in this population has likely been inconsistent and not based on the knowledge and skills of the most experienced clinicians. The current work represents efforts of an international team of physical/physiotherapy clinicians and a S-GJH expert rheumatologist to develop expert consensus recommendations for screening, assessing, and managing patients with UCI associated with S-GJH. Hopefully these recommendations can improve overall recognition and care for this population by combining expertise from physical/physiotherapy clinicians and researchers spanning three continents. These recommendations may also stimulate more research into recognition and conservative care for this complex condition.
