Bibliometric analysis is a useful tool for measuring the scholarly impact of a topic. To date, there is no such review analyzing the characteristics and trends of publications focused on revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). The purpose of this study is to use bibliometric analysis to comprehensively analyze the 50 most cited articles in rTHA research.
This is a cross-sectional study that used the ISI Web of Knowledge database to identify articles published before September 2021. Articles were sorted in descending order by number of citations and those with a focus of rTHA were identified. Of these, the top 50 most cited articles were carried forward for evaluation.
The 2000s (50%) and the 1990s (32%) had the greatest volume of contribution. 9 of the top 10 most cited articles were published in the 2000s. The highest impact article had 4702 citations. The level of evidence (LOE) published with the greatest frequency was LOE II (40%) followed by LOE III and LOE IV both recording 24%. had the greatest productivity (46%) followed by (18%). The United States was the country with the highest number of contributions to this list with 56% followed by England (12%), and Sweden and Canada both with 8%.
The most impactful articles focusing on rTHA research were comprehensively and objectively analyzed. The most common article type was clinical outcomes (46%) followed by natural history/epidemiology (24%) and surgical technique (16%). While this topic is highly studied with significant level of evidence to support the studies, there is a lack of influential research regarding imaging and clinical guidelines. This analysis can be used by researchers to develop further discussions and build research questions.
文献计量分析是衡量一个主题学术影响力的有用工具。迄今为止，尚无此类综述分析专注于翻修全髋关节置换术（rTHA）的出版物的特征和趋势。本研究的目的是使用文献计量分析来全面分析rTHA研究中被引用次数最多的50篇文章。
这是一项横断面研究，使用ISI Web of Knowledge数据库识别2021年9月之前发表的文章。文章按被引用次数降序排列，并识别出专注于rTHA的文章。其中，前50篇被引用次数最多的文章被纳入评估。
21世纪（50%）和20世纪90年代（32%）的贡献量最大。前10篇被引用次数最多的文章中有9篇发表于21世纪。被引用次数最多的文章有4702次引用。发表频率最高的证据水平（LOE）是LOE II（40%），其次是LOE III和LOE IV，均为24%。 的生产力最高（46%），其次是 （18%）。美国是对此列表贡献最多的国家，占56%，其次是英国（12%），瑞典和加拿大均为8%。
对专注于rTHA研究的最具影响力的文章进行了全面客观的分析。最常见的文章类型是临床结果（46%），其次是自然史/流行病学（24%）和手术技术（16%）。虽然这个主题得到了大量研究并有大量证据支持这些研究，但缺乏关于影像学和临床指南的有影响力的研究。研究人员可以利用这一分析进行进一步的讨论并提出研究问题。
