Arthroscopy is an established sub-speciality in orthopaedics. With advancing technology, instrumentation and implants, this sub-speciality has seen an explosion of knowledge and techniques since its inception. The indications for arthroscopic management are increasing and, hence, the number of publications on this topic. There has been no study looking into the bibliometrics of all publications within this speciality. The purpose of this study was to look into the trends of published articles on arthroscopy from PubMed and Scopus including studying their citation numbers.
We set out to look into the number of publications from the earliest up to 2019 and their trends and citation numbers in PubMed and Scopus. We also performed a VOS viewer analysis of MeSH terms and titles of publications to look at research trends over time.
There were 41,149 articles published on PubMed since 1955 and 50,373 articles on Scopus since 1939. The total number of citations were 912,630 for 38,338 cited articles. With 2864 publications in 2019, there was a more than four-fold increase from the number published in the year 2000. The knee joint was the most frequently published joint with an increasing trend in hip arthroscopy. Cohort studies were the most common with 13,180 articles followed by Reviews with 5746 articles. The top 10 authors, universities and journals were listed along with citation numbers. We analysed the trends of publications for each joint and compared them. Yearly citations have progressively increased to reach a maximum of 45,407 in 2007. Arthroscopy was the most published and cited journal on this topic. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) (Am) had the most citations per article. The USA and Hospital for Special Surgery, New York were the most published country and university, respectively.
There is a healthy growth of publications on the subject of arthroscopy with a steep increase in the number of publications and citations in recent years. VOS Viewer analysis showed an evolution of research and practice in the field of arthroscopy. Recommendations were made for databases and search engines to improve on the search and analysis of such studies in the future.
关节镜检查是骨科领域一门成熟的亚专业。随着技术、器械和植入物的不断发展，自该亚专业创立以来，相关知识和技术呈爆炸式增长。关节镜治疗的适应证不断增加，因此关于该主题的出版物数量也在增多。目前尚无针对该专业所有出版物的文献计量学研究。本研究旨在探讨来自PubMed和Scopus的关节镜相关已发表文章的趋势，包括研究其被引次数。
我们着手研究从最早到2019年的出版物数量及其在PubMed和Scopus中的趋势和被引次数。我们还对出版物的医学主题词（MeSH）和标题进行了VOSviewer分析，以观察研究趋势随时间的变化。
自1955年以来，PubMed上发表了41,149篇文章，自1939年以来，Scopus上发表了50,373篇文章。38,338篇被引用文章的总被引次数为912,630次。2019年有2864篇出版物，相较于2000年的发表数量增长了四倍多。膝关节是发表文章最频繁的关节，髋关节镜检查的文章数量呈上升趋势。队列研究最为常见，有13,180篇文章，其次是综述，有5746篇文章。列出了前10位作者、大学和期刊及其被引次数。我们分析了每个关节的出版物趋势并进行了比较。年度被引次数逐渐增加，在2007年达到最高值45,407次。《关节镜检查》是该主题发表文章最多且被引用最多的期刊。《骨与关节外科杂志》（美国版）每篇文章的被引次数最多。美国和纽约特种外科医院分别是发表文章最多的国家和大学。
关节镜检查主题的出版物呈健康增长态势，近年来出版物数量和被引次数急剧增加。VOSviewer分析显示了关节镜检查领域研究和实践的演变。对数据库和搜索引擎提出了建议，以便未来改进对此类研究的检索和分析。
