Bibliometrics can trace the overall research trend in a specific field. To our knowledge, there has been no comprehensive bibliometric analysis of all anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) research from 2000-2019. We provided a bibliometric and visualized analysis of the top 100 highly-cited articles on ACL indexed by the Web of Science (WoS) to provide researchers with the present research status and the potential direction of ACL research.
A bibliometric and visualized analysis of the top 100 highly-cited articles on ACL may identify the research trends, popular journals, core countries, influential institutions and authors in this field.
We obtained data from the WoS Core Collection on February 20, 2020. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted based on the WoS. Collaboration and keywords analysis was performed using the VOSviewer software.
The top 100 highly-cited literatures included 88 articles and 12 reviews. The average total citations was 325 (ranging 197 to 1,423). The article with 1432 citations published by Hewett TE et al. in 2005 was the most influential reference. Sixteen cohort studies and 14 clinical randomized controlled trials were included among the 100 literatures. Twenty-three journals published the top 100 literatures. The American Journal of Sports Medicine published 44 papers with 15,665 citations. The USA published 65 highly-cited articles. The University of Pittsburgh published 13 literatures with 3,966 citations. Hewett TE published 11 papers with 4,806 citations. Extensive collaboration existed worldwide. Reconstruction, kinematics, posterolateral bundle, in-situ forces, neuromuscular control, long-term follow-up, tunnel placement, and prevention were the most common keywords.
In this field, The American Journal of Sports Medicine was the most influential journal. The USA was the most productive and influential country. Researchers and institutions from North America and Europe contributed the most. Regarding the treatments for ACL injuries, we do need well-reported and good-quality enduring randomized trials to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of current treatments.

文献计量学可以追踪特定领域的整体研究趋势。据我们所知，目前还没有对 2000 年至 2019 年期间所有前交叉韧带（ACL）研究进行全面的文献计量分析。我们对 Web of Science（WoS）索引的 ACL 前 100 篇高引用文献进行了文献计量学和可视化分析，为研究人员提供 ACL 研究的现状和潜在方向。
对 ACL 前 100 篇高引用文献进行文献计量学和可视化分析，可以确定该领域的研究趋势、热门期刊、核心国家、有影响力的机构和作者。
我们于 2020 年 2 月 20 日从 WoS 核心集获取数据。根据 WoS 进行定性和定量分析。使用 VOSviewer 软件进行合作和关键词分析。
前 100 篇高引文献包括 88 篇文章和 12 篇综述。平均总引文数为 325 次（范围为 197 次至 1423 次）。2005 年由 Hewett TE 等人发表的一篇引用量为 1432 次的文章是最有影响力的参考文献。100 篇文献中包括 16 项队列研究和 14 项临床随机对照试验。23 种期刊发表了前 100 篇文献。《美国运动医学杂志》发表了 44 篇论文，引用量为 15665 次。美国发表了 65 篇高引文献。匹兹堡大学发表了 13 篇文献，引用量为 3966 次。Hewett TE 发表了 11 篇论文，引用量为 4806 次。全球范围内有广泛的合作。重建、运动学、后外侧束、原位力、神经肌肉控制、长期随访、隧道放置和预防是最常见的关键词。
在这个领域，《美国运动医学杂志》是最有影响力的期刊。美国是最有生产力和影响力的国家。来自北美和欧洲的研究人员和机构贡献最多。关于 ACL 损伤的治疗，我们确实需要有良好报告和高质量的持久随机试验来评估当前治疗方法的有效性和成本效益。
