STUDY DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis. OBJECTIVE: Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has emerged as an effective surgical intervention for degenerative cervical disc disease with potential advantages over traditional cervical fusion. This bibliometric analysis aimed to assess the current state of research on CDA by analyzing the relevant literature using bibliometric indicators. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Web of Science Core Collection. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted using the Web of Science database, for articles related to CDA published in the last 19 years. The top 100 articles were reviewed using bibliometric analysis. Publication trends, citation patterns, authorship, and collaboration networks were analyzed using VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix package in RStudio. RESULTS: The results revealed a significant increase in the number of publications related to CDA over the past 2 decades, with most of the articles being published in orthopedic and spine surgery journals. The most frequently cited articles were related to clinical outcomes, complications, and biomechanical studies of CDA. Co-authorship analysis identified influential authors and collaborative networks, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of CDA research involving neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and engineers. Overall, this bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on CDA, highlighting the key research themes, influential authors, and collaborative networks in the field. CONCLUSION: These findings can serve as a guide for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to identify knowledge gaps, research trends, and future directions in the field of CDA.
研究设计:文献计量分析。 目的:颈椎间盘置换术(CDA)已成为治疗退行性颈椎疾病的有效手术干预手段,与传统颈椎融合术相比具有潜在优势。本文献计量分析旨在通过使用文献计量指标分析相关文献,评估 CDA 的研究现状。 数据来源:Web of Science 核心合集。 方法:使用 Web of Science 数据库对过去 19 年发表的与 CDA 相关的文章进行全面检索。使用文献计量分析方法对前 100 篇文章进行了回顾。使用 VOSviewer 和 RStudio 中的 Bibliometrix 软件包分析了出版物趋势、引文模式、作者和合作网络。 结果:结果表明,过去 20 年来,与 CDA 相关的出版物数量显著增加,大多数文章发表在矫形和脊柱外科杂志上。被引频次最高的文章与 CDA 的临床结果、并发症和生物力学研究有关。合著分析确定了有影响力的作者和合作网络,突出了涉及神经外科医生、矫形外科医生和工程师的 CDA 研究的多学科性质。总体而言,这项文献计量分析全面概述了 CDA 研究的现状,强调了该领域的关键研究主题、有影响力的作者和合作网络。 结论:这些发现可以为研究人员、临床医生和政策制定者提供指导,以确定 CDA 领域的知识空白、研究趋势和未来方向。
