An updated bibliometric analysis is needed to address the lack of comprehensive understanding of Ilizarov technique's research trends and hotspots, fostering collaboration and technology adoption. CiteSpace was utilized to perform co-citation analyzes on authors, countries, institutions, journals and cited journals, authors and cited literature, along with keywords. This approach aimed to identify leaders, collaborating institutions, and research hotspots associated with the Ilizarov technique, while also predicting future development trends.
Data relevant to Ilizarov technologies from 1994 to 2023 were extracted from Science Net's core collection. Excel was utilized to develop an exponential function for forecasting annual publication numbers. CiteSpace V5.5 was used to conduct co-citation analyzes, which included authors, countries (regions), institutions, journals, citation journals, authors, citations, and keywords. Burst detection algorithms were applied to analyze countries (regions), institutions, and keywords, with keyword clustering achieved using the logarithmic likelihood ratio.
A total of 2030 studies were collected, with annual publications on the Ilizarov technique fitting an exponential model Y = 3E-37e (R = 0.7979). Morasiewicz Piotr from the University of Opole in Poland emerged as the most prolific author. The leading countries included the USA and China, and notable institutions included the Egyptian Knowledge Bank and the Ilizarov National Scientific Center for Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedic. Research outputs appeared primarily in orthopedics and surgery, with a focus on keywords such as management, the Ilizarov technique, external fixation, distraction osteogenesis, reconstruction, and the Ilizarov method.
Based on current global trends, the number of publications in the Ilizarov field will continue to increase. Future studies will likely place more emphasis on advancing application concepts and device development.
由于对伊里扎洛夫技术的研究趋势和热点缺乏全面了解，需要进行更新的文献计量分析，以促进合作和技术应用。利用CiteSpace对作者、国家、机构、期刊和被引期刊、作者和被引文献以及关键词进行共被引分析。该方法旨在识别与伊里扎洛夫技术相关的领军人物、合作机构和研究热点，同时预测未来发展趋势。
从科学网核心数据库中提取1994年至2023年与伊里扎洛夫技术相关的数据。利用Excel开发指数函数来预测年发表量。使用CiteSpace V5.5进行共被引分析，包括作者、国家（地区）、机构、期刊、被引期刊、作者、引文和关键词。应用突变检测算法分析国家（地区）、机构和关键词，并使用对数似然比实现关键词聚类。
共收集到2030项研究，伊里扎洛夫技术的年发表量符合指数模型Y = 3E - 37e（R = 0.7979）。波兰奥波莱大学的莫拉谢维茨·彼得是发文量最多的作者。主要国家包括美国和中国，著名机构包括埃及知识银行和伊里扎洛夫国家创伤修复与矫形科学中心。研究成果主要发表在骨科和外科领域，重点关注管理、伊里扎洛夫技术、外固定、牵张成骨、重建和伊里扎洛夫方法等关键词。
基于当前全球趋势，伊里扎洛夫领域的发表数量将继续增加。未来的研究可能会更加强调推进应用概念和设备开发。
