Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis, and postoperative rehabilitation is crucial. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this area has yet to emerge. This study aims to visualize the research trends in postoperative rehabilitation after TKA through bibliometric analysis and explore current research frontiers and hotspots.
Publications related to postoperative rehabilitation following TKA were identified and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used for bibliometric and visualization analysis.
From January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2022, a total of 1,422 articles on TKA postoperative rehabilitation were identified from the database. The number of publications and citations showed steady growth during this period. The United States was the major contributor in this field, with the University of Colorado being the most active institution domestically. J Arthroplasty ranked first in both publication volume and total citations among all journals. Stevens-Lapsley, JE, and Mizner, RL were the two most influential authors. Reference and keyword analyses suggest that remote or home-based rehabilitation, the development of novel prehabilitation techniques, and pain management hold significant research potential, constituting current research hotspots.
This study quantitatively identified and assessed the current research status and trends in perioperative rehabilitation management for TKA through bibliometric and visualization analyses. It provides essential information for scholars in the field of TKA postoperative rehabilitation research, highlighting key research frontiers and trends.
全膝关节置换术（TKA）是终末期膝骨关节炎的有效治疗方法，术后康复至关重要。然而，该领域尚未出现全面的文献计量分析。本研究旨在通过文献计量分析可视化TKA术后康复的研究趋势，并探索当前的研究前沿和热点。
从Web of Science核心合集（WoSCC）数据库中识别并提取与TKA术后康复相关的出版物。使用CiteSpace和VOSviewer进行文献计量和可视化分析。
从2000年1月1日至2022年12月31日，数据库中共识别出1422篇关于TKA术后康复的文章。在此期间，出版物数量和引用次数呈稳步增长。美国是该领域的主要贡献者，科罗拉多大学是国内最活跃的机构。《关节置换术杂志》在所有期刊的发表量和总引用量方面均排名第一。史蒂文斯-拉普斯利（Stevens-Lapsley, JE）和米兹纳（Mizner, RL）是最具影响力的两位作者。参考文献和关键词分析表明，远程或居家康复、新型术前康复技术的开发以及疼痛管理具有显著的研究潜力，构成了当前的研究热点。
本研究通过文献计量和可视化分析定量识别并评估了TKA围手术期康复管理的当前研究现状和趋势。它为TKA术后康复研究领域的学者提供了重要信息，突出了关键的研究前沿和趋势。
