“…Thus, bibliometrics to measure scientific productivity has been more notable in recent years. Self-assessment of the orthopedics publication from individual countries has been reported by Turkey and Japan [ 5 , 6 ]. However, information regarding Chinese scientific contribution in the field of orthopedics is still lacking.…”

BackgroundIn China, the field of orthopedics has experienced significant growth over the past 12 years. However, the recent status of research on orthopedics among individuals in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan is unknown. In this study, we investigated characteristics and trends of orthopedics publications from these three regions.MethodsBetween 2003 and 2014, all articles published in 63 orthopedics journals originating from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were identified via Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database. A survey was conducted to systematically analyze the published orthopedics articles from the three regions according to the numbers of articles, study design, impact factors (IFs), citations, most prolific authors, and institutions. Additionally, we evaluated global trends in orthopedics publications, and ranked top 10 countries in terms of the total number of published articles over 12 years and the number of published articles per year.ResultsA total number of 123,317 articles were published in the 63 orthopedics journals between 2003 and 2014. The worldwide number of annually published orthopedics articles tended to increase during the study period. The total number of orthopedics publications from the three regions, especially in mainland China, increased markedly from 2003 to 2014. The annual number of orthopedics articles from mainland China increased from 6 in 2003 to 813 in 2014, Hong Kong increased from 32 in 2003 to 71 in 2014, and Taiwan increased from 68 in 2003 to 168 in 2014. For accumulated IFs and total citations of articles, mainland China ranked the first place, followed by Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, publications from Taiwan had the highest average citations per article, and publications from Hong Kong had the highest average IFs. Among the top 10 most prolific authors and institutions, 4 authors and 4 institutions were from Taiwan, 3 authors and 4 institutions were from mainland China, and 3 authors and 2 institutions were from Hong Kong.ConclusionsThe quantity of articles published in international orthopedics journals from mainland China presented a remarkable upward trend during the past 12 years. Given the relative size of the populations, it should be emphasized that mainland China still has a long way to go to achieve the academic performance of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

“…Bibliometric analysis methods have shown efficacy in assessing research development in specific fields (9). Multiple studies have dealt with the bibliometric analysis of research output from confined geographical areas (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). A previous study by the authors of the current study (SB, YM) has found that Saudi research output in spine surgery was low in quality and numbers (11).…”

“…Citation numbers measure the impact of certain publications on the global literature, a parameter used to quantify the number of times an article has been cited (3). Multiple studies have been done to measure the quality and impact of specific nations' publications on global spine surgery literature (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Saudi Arabia is advancing rapidly in multiple sectors, including the health sector, after the initiation of the 2030 vision (10).…”

Background: Over recent decades, there has been a constant increase in the numbers and quality of spine surgery research. We herein plan to analyze the evolution of spine surgery-related publications from Saudi Arabia for three decades. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the literature with predefined inclusion criteria was carried out, utilizing multiple significant databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase). Multiple search terms were used to retrieve related articles. Numerous variables were collected and analyzed, such as articles’ level of evidence, citation numbers, study design, and author-related information. For comparison, the study period was divided into three time frames: 1990–2000, 2001–2010, and 2011–2022. Results: Out of 2969 articles, only 254 met the inclusion criteria of the current study. During the period 2011–2022, an increase of 41% was observed in the number of publications. The highest number of publications was in 2020 (n = 36, 14.2%). Level IV comprised the highest percentage (n = 130, 51%). High-quality articles (Levels I and II) had increased (11%) from 2011 to 2022. The most commonly utilized study design was case reports (44%). Seven randomized controlled trials were identified during the study period. Most of the included articles were from Riyadh province (65%). Research interest revolved around general spine care, trauma, and oncology in 2011–2022. Conclusion: This is the first study to quantitatively analyze spine surgery-related research in Saudi Arabia. However, there has been significant development in several publications in the last decade, but the quality still needs to be improved. Therefore, we should aim to produce higher-quality studies to meet the country’s 2030 vision goals to be one of the leading nations in spine surgery practice.

“…Researchers from Japan publish most in Journal of Orthopedic Science . This journal is the official journal of the Japanese Orthopedic Association and has a lengthy and illustrious history of publishing outstanding scientific papers in the field[ 24 ]. The top three popular journals for South Korea were Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery, Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy and Arthroscopy-The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, suggesting that arthroplasty surgery in South Korea is developing rapidly and has achieved great advances in recent years.…”

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare but terrible complication in hip and knee arthroplasty, and the use of topical vancomycin powder (VP) has been investigated as a tool to potentially reduce its incidence. However, there remains no consensus on its efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an overview on the application of topical vancomycin in orthopaedic surgery focusing on the recent evidence and results in total joint arthroplasty. Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses on topical VP in hip and knee arthroplasty have been recently published reporting sometimes conflicting results. Apart from all being limited by the quality of the included studies (mostly level III and IV), confounding variables are often included potentially leading to biased conclusions. If taken into consideration the exclusive use of VP in isolation, the available data, although very limited, suggest that it does not reduce the infection rate in routine primary hip and knee arthroplasty. Therefore, we still cannot advise for a routinary application. A properly powered randomized-controlled trial would be necessary to clarify the role of VP in hip and knee arthroplasty. Based on the analysis of the current evidence, the use of topical VP appears to be safe when used locally in terms of systemic adverse reactions, hence, if proven to be effective, it could bring great benefits due to its low cost and accessibility.
