The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the global application trend of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and identify promising research hotspots of HTO based on bibliometrics and visual analysis.
Publications (articles and reviews) related to HTO from 2001 to 2020 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database (WOSCC). The country, institution, year, author, journal, average citations per item, H index, title, abstract, keywords of publication, and the top 10 cited articles were extracted and analyzed in detail. The VOSviewer software was used to analyze theco-occurrence of keywords to predict the hotspots of HTO.
A total of 1883 articles were included. In the past 20 years, the number of HTO articles has shown an increasing trend in general. The top 3 countries (the USA, Germany, and South Korea) accounted for 49.547% of all articles published. The USA has the largest number of publications. The University of Western Ontario is the largest contributor. The Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy is the most influential journal. Professors Saito T and Imhoff AB are the leading scholars who made great achievements in the HTO field. The research direction can be divided into the following 5 clusters: "prognosis and outcome", "HTO combined with cartilage restoration techniques", "animal experimental research", "study on bone union and plate fixation at osteotomy", and "surgical technique research".
In terms of the trend of previous years, an increasing number of literatures related to HTO will be published in the future. The USA is a world leader in the field of HTO. South Korea presented great potential in this area. HTO combined with cartilage restoration techniques, postoperative prognosis and outcome, and surgical technique research may be the future hotspots in the field of HTO research.
本研究旨在全面分析全球胫骨高位截骨术（HTO）的应用趋势，并基于文献计量学和可视化分析确定 HTO 的有前途的研究热点。
从 Web of Science 核心合集数据库（WOSCC）中检索 2001 年至 2020 年与 HTO 相关的出版物（文章和综述）。提取并详细分析了国家、机构、年份、作者、期刊、篇均引用次数、H 指数、标题、摘要、关键词、出版物和被引频次最高的前 10 篇文章。使用 VOSviewer 软件分析关键词共现，预测 HTO 的热点。
共纳入 1883 篇文章。在过去的 20 年中，HTO 文章的数量总体呈上升趋势。排名前 3 的国家（美国、德国和韩国）发表的文章占所有文章的 49.547%。美国发表的文章数量最多，其主要贡献者是西安大略大学。《膝关节外科、运动创伤学与关节镜》是最有影响力的期刊。Saito T 和 Imhoff AB 教授是 HTO 领域的领军学者，他们在该领域取得了卓越的成就。研究方向可分为以下 5 个聚类：“预后和结果”、“HTO 与软骨修复技术相结合”、“动物实验研究”、“截骨处骨愈合和钢板固定研究”以及“手术技术研究”。
从过去几年的趋势来看，未来将有越来越多与 HTO 相关的文献发表。美国在 HTO 领域处于世界领先地位，韩国在这一领域显示出巨大的潜力。HTO 与软骨修复技术相结合、术后预后和结果以及手术技术研究可能是 HTO 研究领域的未来热点。
