High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established surgical procedure employed to treat medial compartment knee osteoarthritis by modifying the mechanical axis of the lower limb, thereby reducing the load on the affected joint. It has gained increased attention in recent years, resulting in numerous research advancements in this field.
The top 100 most-cited papers on HTO, published between 1970 and 2023, were identified by searching the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data, including the title, author, keywords, journal, publication year, country, and institution, were extracted. Subsequently, a bibliometric analysis was performed.
The 100 papers collectively garnered a total of 15 833 citations, with a median of 122 and an average of 158.33 citations per article. Since the onset of the 21st century, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications and citations. Lobenhoffer authored the most published papers. The majority of papers originated from the USA. Hannover Medical School produced the most papers. Analysis of keywords in the articles revealed several research hotspots, including open-wedge osteotomy, biomechanical study, tibial slope, patellar height, Puddu plate, TomoFix plate, stability, complications, and accuracy.
This study offers bibliometric insights into HTO, underscoring that the USA is a prominent leader in this field. HTO has garnered increasing attention since the onset of the 21st century and is expected to remain a significant research area in the future. Concurrently, the authors advise focusing on potential research hotspots, such as the navigation system, to augment the accuracy of the correction.
高位胫骨截骨术（HTO）是一种成熟的外科手术，通过改变下肢的机械轴来治疗膝关节内侧间室骨关节炎，从而减轻患关节的负荷。近年来，它受到了越来越多的关注，该领域也取得了众多研究进展。
通过检索科学网核心合集数据库，确定了1970年至2023年间发表的关于HTO的被引频次最高的100篇论文。提取了包括标题、作者、关键词、期刊、出版年份、国家和机构等数据。随后进行了文献计量分析。
这100篇论文共获得15833次引用，中位数为122次，平均每篇文章158.33次引用。自21世纪以来，出版物数量和引用次数显著增加。洛本霍费尔发表的论文最多。大多数论文来自美国。汉诺威医学院发表的论文最多。对文章关键词的分析揭示了几个研究热点，包括开放楔形截骨术、生物力学研究、胫骨坡度、髌骨高度、普杜接骨板、TomoFix接骨板、稳定性、并发症和准确性。
本研究提供了关于HTO的文献计量学见解，强调美国是该领域的杰出领导者。自21世纪以来，HTO受到了越来越多的关注，预计未来仍将是一个重要的研究领域。同时，作者建议关注潜在的研究热点，如导航系统，以提高矫正的准确性。
