Management of odontoid fractures has improved and evolved due to advancing diagnostic guidelines and understanding of long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to quantify the most frequently cited publications pertaining to odontoid fractures and determine their validity as a tool to practice evidence-based medicine.
A Clarivate Analytics Web of Science search was used to identify all articles related to odontoid fractures. The 50 most cited articles were reviewed. Criteria included the frequency of citation, year of publication, countries of origin, journal, levels of evidence (LOE), article types, and supporting authors and institutions.
The top 3 most cited papers were "Radiological and anatomical evaluation of the atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation technique" (Madawi 1997), "Atlantoaxial fixation using, plate and screw method: A report of 160 treated patients" (Goel 2002), and "The anatomical suitability of the C1-2 complex for transarticular screw fixation" (Paramore 1996). Spine (n = 13; 26%) was the most common journal, and the most frequent decade was 2000-2009 (n = 18; 36%). The United States was associated with the greatest number of publications, and the most common article type was clinical outcomes (n = 16; 32%). The most recurring LOE was IV (n = 20; 40%).
This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical literature pertaining to odontoid fracture management. There is a paucity of high LOE publications regarding this topic, and clinicians should strive to provide more high-level studies. This article can help practitioners navigate the vast body of literature about this topic and identify high-impact publications.
由于诊断指南的进步以及对长期预后的认识，齿状突骨折的治疗方法得到了改进和发展。本研究的目的是量化与齿状突骨折相关的被引用频率最高的出版物，并确定它们作为实施循证医学工具的有效性。
使用科睿唯安的科学网数据库进行检索，以识别所有与齿状突骨折相关的文章。对被引用次数最多的50篇文章进行了综述。标准包括引用频率、发表年份、原产国、期刊、证据水平（LOE）、文章类型以及支持作者和机构。
被引用次数最多的前三篇论文分别是《寰枢椎经关节螺钉固定技术的放射学和解剖学评估》（马达维，1997年）、《使用钢板和螺钉方法进行寰枢椎固定：160例治疗患者的报告》（戈尔，2002年）以及《C1-2复合体经关节螺钉固定的解剖学适宜性》（帕拉莫尔，1996年）。《脊柱》杂志（n = 13；26%）是最常见的期刊，最常见 的十年是2000 - 2009年（n = 18；36%）。美国的出版物数量最多，最常见的文章类型是临床结果（n = 16；32%）。最常见的证据水平是IV级（n = 20；40%）。
本综述全面介绍了有关齿状突骨折治疗的历史文献。关于这个主题的高证据水平出版物较少，临床医生应努力提供更多高水平的研究。本文可以帮助从业者浏览有关该主题的大量文献，并识别有高影响力的出版物。
