Bibliometric analysis has been used to quantify and assess a scientific publication and its impact. The purpose of this study was to identify and review the top 50 most cited articles discussing superior capsular reconstruction (SCR).
Scopus database was used to search for publications focusing on SCR. The top 50 most cited articles that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed for year and journal of publication, country of origin, study type, level of evidence, and citation density.
The total number of citations from the top 50 articles was 2048 (range, 10-196). The year of publication ranged from 2015 to 2022, with the majority (n = 42) being published from 2018 to 2022. The most common level of evidence rating was level V (21 articles) and the majority (81%) of these articles were surgical technique notes. The second most common level of evidence rating was level IV (16 articles) which were all case series. The articles were written across 16 different countries, most commonly the United States (52%), and published in 16 different journals.
Most of the top 50 articles on SCR were technical notes and case series. This demonstrates the need for higher level, comparative, and controlled studies examining SCR techniques, outcomes, and complications in the future.
文献计量分析已被用于量化和评估科学出版物及其影响力。本研究的目的是识别和综述讨论肩袖上重建术（SCR）的被引用次数最多的前50篇文章。
使用Scopus数据库搜索专注于SCR的出版物。对符合纳入标准的被引用次数最多的前50篇文章进行综述，分析其发表年份和期刊、原产国、研究类型、证据水平和引用密度。
前50篇文章的总引用次数为2048次（范围为10 - 196次）。发表年份从2015年到2022年，其中大多数（n = 42）发表于2018年到2022年。最常见的证据水平评级为V级（21篇文章），这些文章中的大多数（81%）是手术技术笔记。第二常见的证据水平评级为IV级（16篇文章），均为病例系列。这些文章来自16个不同的国家撰写，最常见的是美国（52%），并发表在16种不同的期刊上。
关于SCR的前50篇文章大多是技术笔记和病例系列。这表明未来需要进行更高水平、比较性和对照性的研究，以检验SCR技术、结果和并发症。
