Background Total joint replacements are some of the most common procedures performed by surgeons. There has been a recent increase to transition these procedures to the outpatient setting. Objective Our study seeks to identify the most influential publications, in terms of total citations, regarding outpatient total hip and knee replacement surgeries. Methods The database used to collect the data for this analysis was Clarivate Analytics Web of Science. The search query selected and used to collect data was: “outpatient or ambulatory,” with a “Title” filter AND “total joint replacement” AND “total joint arthroplast*” with “Topic” filters. The papers returned were then sorted by total number of citations and exported to Google Sheets for further analysis. Results The most cited publication was “Outpatient total knee arthroplasty with a minimally invasive technique,” by Berger et al.. This was the oldest publication analyzed (2005), the most recent publication being published in 2020. The publications analyzed were cited a total number of 1,774 times and averaged 35.5 citations per year. The Journal with the most attributable publications was The Journal of Arthroplasty. Conclusion This study provides a measure of the most cited articles on outpatient arthroplasty. Most literature on the topic were categorized as Clinical Science and Outcomes (50%), comprised level of evidence III (28%), were published in the Journal of Arthroplasty (54%) and came out of the United States (76%). Knowledge of these most influential articles allows for a foundation of understanding on a rapidly growing area of arthroplasty among clinicians.
Background Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research is one of the most influential and reputable scientific journals in the field of orthopaedics. Some of the most reputable publications related to orthopaedic research can be attributed to this journal and it continues to have a significant impact on modern research. Objective The purpose of this study is to identify the most influential articles, in terms of number of citations, published by Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research. The goal of analyzing the most cited articles in is to create a baseline for future researchers to build upon and to uncover any trends in orthopaedic research. Methods Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines were used to structure the data collection and analysis of this study. The Scopus database was used to compile the publication data. Data was then exported to an excel sheet to be further analyzed via a multi-author review process. Results The most cited article was “A Clinical Method of Functional Assessment of the Shoulder” by Constant et al.. The 50 articles analyzed in this study were cited a total of 32,404 times, averaging 719 citations per year, per publication. The oldest article was published in 1971, and the newest in 2008. The United States was the country with the most attributable publications and The University of Florida was the most contributory institution. Conclusions Our study recognizes Clinical Orthopaedics and Related research as having a strong predilection for older articles and a continued strength for modern publications.
Introduction The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) is one of most influential orthopaedic journals, with Total Joint Replacements (TJR) being a frequent topic. The importance of TJR research parallels it’s high prevalence in American society. Objective To compile and analyze the top 50 most frequently cited articles published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery regarding total joint reconstruction or arthroplasty. Methods Guidelines set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews were used as the foundation for data collection and analysis. Scopus database was used to acquire the metric analyzed in the study. Data was then exported to an excel sheet for analysis. Results The top 50 TJR publications analyzed for this study were cited a total of 35,850 times (including self-citations), with an average number of citations per article of 717. Kurtz and Neer II were the only authors contributing more than one. 38 of 50 articles analyzed met the criteria for Level II or III in terms of Level of Evidence (LOE). The United States contributed the most publications with a total of 34. Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, with eight publications each, were the highest contributing institutions. Conclusion The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery has published very influential research papers as noted by the number of citations amassed by its most popular articles. JBJS’s top cited publications hail largely from major institutions in the United States and are composed of high-quality reports of mostly Level 2 and Level 3 evidence classifications. Level of Evidence 3
Purpose To compile and analyze the top 50 most frequently cited articles published in the Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy journal. Methods Guidelines set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews were used as the foundation for data collection and analysis. Scopus database was used to acquire the metric analyzed in the study. Once collected, the data was exported to an excel sheet in order to be organized, sorted, and analyzed in accordance with the metrics of interest. Results The United States was the most contributory nation with 14 publications, followed by Sweden with13 publications and Germany with eight publications. The most contributory institution was Umeå University in Vasterbottens, Sweden (8) followed by National Institute for Working Life in Stockholm, Sweden (7) and The University of Pittsburgh (5). Most publications were either Level II (19) or Level III (19) in terms of Level of Evidence. There was only one publication that was classified as a Level I paper. Conclusion The Journal of Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, and Arthroscopy has published very influential research papers as noted by the number of citations amassed by its most popular articles. KSSTA’s top cited publications hail largely from major European and United States institutions and are composed of high-quality reports of mostly Level 2 and Level 3 evidence classifications. Level of Evidence 3
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
