: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), also known as self-report measures, are critical tools for evaluating health outcomes by gathering information directly from patients without external interpretation. There has been a growing trend in the number of publications focusing on PROMs in orthopedic-related research. This study aims to identify the most valuable publications, influential journals, leading researchers, and core countries in this field using bibliometric analysis, providing researchers with an understanding of the current state and future trends of PROMs in orthopedic research. : All PROMs in orthopedic-related publications from 1991 to 2022 were obtained from the WoSCC database. R software (version 4.2.2), VOSviewer (version 1.6.17), and Microsoft Excel (version 2303) were used for the bibliometric and visual analysis. : A total of 2273 publication records were found from 1991 to 2022. The results indicated that the United States (US) has made significant contributions to orthopedic-related PROMs. The majority of active research institutions are located in the US. has published the most articles. has the highest total citations. : Our study provides a valuable reference for further exploration of the application of PROMs in orthopedics. PROMs have emerged as an increasingly popular area of research within the field of orthopedics, both in clinical practice and academic research. We conducted a bibliometric analysis in terms of journals, authors, countries, and institutions in this field. Additionally, we analyzed the potentialities and advantages of using PROMs in orthopedic research. There is an increasing trend towards using network-based or short message service (SMS)-based electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in orthopedic medical practices. It is anticipated that the role of PROMs in psychological and mental health research and telemedicine will continue to grow in importance.
患者报告结局测量（PROMs），也称为自我报告测量，是通过直接从患者那里收集信息而无需外部解释来评估健康结果的重要工具。在骨科相关研究中，越来越多的出版物关注 PROMs。本研究旨在使用文献计量分析确定该领域最有价值的出版物、有影响力的期刊、主要研究人员和核心国家，为研究人员提供对骨科研究中 PROMs 现状和未来趋势的了解。
从 WoSCC 数据库中获取了 1991 年至 2022 年与骨科相关的所有 PROMs 出版物。使用 R 软件（版本 4.2.2）、VOSviewer（版本 1.6.17）和 Microsoft Excel（版本 2303）进行文献计量和可视化分析。
从 1991 年至 2022 年共发现 2273 篇文献记录。结果表明，美国（US）对骨科相关 PROMs 做出了重大贡献。大多数活跃的研究机构都位于美国。 发表的文章最多。 总被引频次最高。
本研究为进一步探索 PROMs 在骨科中的应用提供了有价值的参考。PROMs 在骨科领域的临床实践和学术研究中已经成为一个越来越受欢迎的研究领域。我们对该领域的期刊、作者、国家和机构进行了文献计量分析。此外，我们分析了在骨科研究中使用 PROMs 的潜力和优势。在骨科医疗实践中，基于网络或短消息服务（SMS）的电子患者报告结局测量（ePROMs）的使用呈上升趋势。预计 PROMs 在心理和心理健康研究以及远程医疗中的作用将变得越来越重要。
