“…Soft tissue defects were mainly located in the proximal leg, middle section, distal section, and foot or ankle in 29, 35, 68, and 112 cases, respectively. According to the Gustilo‐Anderson classification of open fracture, 19 there were 38 cases of type II, 61 cases of type IIIA, 80 cases of type IIIB, and 65 cases of type IIIC fractures. Hemorrhagic shock after the injury occurred in 28 cases.…”

Objective Free flaps are widely used for the repair of soft tissue defects in the lower limbs, but there is still a specific rate of necrosis. Few clinical retrospective studies have analyzed the nontechnical risk factors for lower limb free flap necrosis. This study aimed to analyze the nontechnical causes of flap necrosis in lower limb soft tissue reconstruction in order to identify risk factors and improve the survival rate of free flaps. Methods Clinical data from 244 cases of soft tissue defects of the leg or foot that were repaired with a free flap from January 2011 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The flap results were divided into complete survival and necrosis groups. The patients' general information, smoking history, soft tissue defect site, Gustilo‐Anderson classification, shock after injury, type and size of the flap, and time from injury to flap coverage were recorded. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlations between flap necrosis and possible risk factors. Results Of the 244 flaps, 32 suffered from partial or total necrosis, and 212 completely survived. Univariate analysis showed that age, smoking history, soft tissue defect site, and time from injury to flap coverage were significantly correlated with flap necrosis (p ≤ 0.2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that moderate‐to‐severe smoking history (p < 0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 10.259, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.886–36.468), proximal leg defect (p = 0.006, OR = 7.095, 95% CI = 1.731–29.089), and time from injury to flap coverage >7 days (p = 0.003, OR = 12.351, 95% CI = 2.343–65.099) were statistically significant risk factors for flap necrosis (p < 0.05), and age was excluded (p = 0.666; p = 0.924). Conclusion The risk of flap necrosis was significantly increased when the soft tissue defect was located in the proximal leg, the time from injury to flap coverage was >7 days, and the patient had a moderate‐to‐severe smoking history. These three risk factors have an increased influence on flap necrosis and have guiding significance in predicting flap prognosis.

“…In a previous bibliometric study in literature on the topic of open fractures, a moderate-level significant correlation was determined. [17] The reason for the higher correlation on the subject of acetabular fractures could be said to be the increased incidence of acetabular fractures associated with the increase in the elderly population in developed countries in addition to the relationship between economic power and the necessary source of finance for research.…”

“…[6,16] Bibliometric analysis is a popular technique that uses various statistical approaches to investigate and analyze large amounts of scientific data. [17,18] Bibliometric analyses present the trends emerging in research topics, determine high-impact articles, and evaluate the evolutionary process of a specific area and how it can progress. [19,20] Therefore, comprehensive bibliometric studies can provide important infrastructure for the progression of a field through specific and meaningful routes.…”

Acetabular fractures from Judet and Letournel to the present: Research trends and global outcomes with bibliometric analysis during 1980 to 2022

Fractures of the acetabulum are one of the most challenging injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. However, a bibliometric analysis has not been performed in the literature on acetabular fractures, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to summarize the bibliometric and intellectual structure, and determine and map the most recent trends on the topic of acetabular fractures by analyzing the social and structural relationships between the different research components of articles published on the acetabular fractures. 1599 articles on acetabular fractures published between 1980 and 2022 were extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) database and analyzed. Bibliometric visualization maps were used to reveal trending topics, citation analyses, and international collaborations. Spearman correlation analysis was performed for correlation investigations. The trend in the expected number of articles to be published over the next few years was displayed using the exponential smoothing estimator. The top 3 contributing countries to the literature were United States of America (USA) (551, 34.4%), China (170, 10.6%), and Germany (160, 10%). The most active author was Berton R. Moed (n = 29) and the most active institution was the University of California System (n = 41). A high-level statistically significant correlation was found between the number of articles on the topic of acetabular fractures published by nations and the gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP per capita values of those countries (R = 0.719, P < .001; R = 0.701, P < .001, respectively). The trending topics researched in recent years were 3D printing, 3-dimensional printing, outcomes, Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF), mortality, Kocher-Langenbeck, Pararectus approach, tranexamic acid, transfusion, epidemiology, fracture mapping, modified Stoppa approach, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, pelvis fracture, pelvic trauma, fracture reduction, and pelvic ring injury. The leading countries in research on the subject of acetabular fractures were seen to be western countries with large economies (especially the USA, European countries, and Canada) and China, India and Turkey.

Bibliometric analysis of research articles on post-herpetic neuralgia published from 1991 to 2020

Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is one of the most painful diseases, which has made it a major concern for pain physicians. We aimed to quantitatively analyze the research outputs of studies on PHN published over the past 30 years using bibliometric analysis. We also aimed to analyze the research outputs of studies on interventional treatments for PHN and evaluate the academic achievements of Korean pain physicians. Bibliometric analysis was performed by searching the Web of Science database for PHN-related articles published between 1991 and 2020. Publication number, year, source, country, institution, and citation-related information were retrieved from the database. We also quantitatively analyzed publications related to interventional treatments for PHN. A total of 3285 publications were extracted from the database; 101 (3.1%) of the articles were published by South Korean authors, making South Korea the 11th in the order of countries that published the most articles. There were 185 articles on the effects of interventional treatments for PHN. South Korean authors published 30 (16.2%) articles out of these, making South Korea the 3rd in the order of countries that published the most articles on the effects of interventional treatment for PHN. Our results showed an increasing trend in the number of PHN-related publications and the academic achievements of Korean pain physicians in this field over the past 3 decades. However, the proportion of studies on interventional treatments is relatively small. Korean pain physicians need to establish academic evidence on interventional treatment to expand their role in this field and improve the outcomes of PHN patients.
