Citation analysis was performed in order to identify the top 50 most cited articles pertaining to the field of primary spinal tumors. This collection of articles highlights important trends in the neurosurgical literature. We searched the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge in order to identify articles pertaining to primary tumors of the spine. Impertinent articles were removed. The top 50 most cited articles were identified. Thereafter, article characteristics were determined including article type, article topic, level of evidence, and citation rate. The selected articles were published between 1951 and 2008. The most productive year was 1997 with 6 publications. The top 50 articles were published in twenty-two different journals, most commonly in Neurosurgery (12), Journal of Neurosurgery (8), and Spine (6). The most frequently cited article was by Tomita et al. written in 1997 which described total en bloc spondylectomy as a novel surgical technique in management of primary tumors of the vertebral column. We identified the 50 most-cited articles in the field of primary spinal tumors. This collection of articles serves as a reference for recognizing impactful studies in the field.
为了确定原发性脊柱肿瘤领域被引用次数最多的50篇文章，我们进行了引文分析。这组文章突出了神经外科文献中的重要趋势。我们检索了汤森路透的科学网，以确定与脊柱原发性肿瘤相关的文章，并剔除了不相关的文章，从而确定了被引用次数最多的50篇文章。此后，我们确定了文章的特征，包括文章类型、文章主题、证据水平和引用率。所选文章发表于1951年至2008年之间，发表文章最多的年份是1997年，有6篇。这50篇文章发表在22种不同的期刊上，最常见的是《神经外科》（12篇）、《神经外科杂志》（8篇）和《脊柱》（6篇）。被引用次数最多的文章是富田等人于1997年撰写的，该文章将整块脊椎切除术描述为治疗脊柱原发性肿瘤的一种新型手术技术。我们确定了原发性脊柱肿瘤领域被引用次数最多的50篇文章。这组文章可作为识别该领域有影响力研究的参考。
