BACKGROUND: Nigeria has a relatively large scientific community that produces an adequate research output among African countries. Not many studies have analysed the research output in orthopaedics and sports medicine from Nigeria and Africa. Hence, we aimed to analyze the research output in orthopaedics and sports medicine from Nigeria and Africa. METHODOLOGY: We used the SCOPUS data from the Scimago Journal & Country Rank website. It allows us to draw various journal metrics for research. RESULTS: Between 1996 and 2022, Nigerian research publications in orthopaedics and sports medicine had grown from 4 in 1996 to 39 in 2022 (a 10-fold growth) but overall is 62nd in the world representing 0.07% of publications in the period. In the same period, Africa published 8297 papers in orthopaedics and sports medicine representing only 1.24% of the global publications in this field. CONCLUSION: There is low research output in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine from Nigeria and, the whole African continent. However, there has been a growth in the publications from Africa.
背景：尼日利亚拥有相对庞大的科学界，在非洲国家中产出了足够的研究成果。没有多少研究分析过尼日利亚和非洲在骨科与运动医学方面的研究产出。因此，我们旨在分析尼日利亚和非洲在骨科与运动医学方面的研究产出。 方法：我们使用了来自Scimago Journal & Country Rank网站的Scopus数据。它使我们能够得出各种研究期刊指标。 结果：1996年至2022年间，尼日利亚在骨科与运动医学领域的研究出版物从1996年的4篇增长到2022年的39篇（增长了10倍），但总体在世界排名第62位，占该时期出版物的0.07%。同期，非洲在骨科与运动医学领域发表了8297篇论文，仅占该领域全球出版物的1.24%。 结论：尼日利亚乃至整个非洲大陆在骨科与运动医学方面的研究产出较低。然而，非洲的出版物数量有所增长。
