“…examined; however, subject distributions were not mentioned in these studies either. [12][13][14] When the theses on the subject of bone and soft tissue tumors were examined, it was the least preferred thesis topic among all the subjects in our study. The rarity of bone and soft tissue tumors than other orthopedic conditions could be the reason for the scarcity.…”

Objectives This study aims to investigate the topics distribution trend and evaluate the characteristics of orthopedics and traumatology residency theses during a 20-year period using a bibliometric analysis. Materials and methods Between January 2000 and December 2020, orthopedics and traumatology residency theses of all centers providing postgraduate education in Turkey were reviewed from the online application of the National Thesis Center of Higher Education Council. Using the advanced search screen, a total of 1,907 theses were reached. Massachusetts University Orthopaedics and Traumatology Fellowship Programs and Turkish Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology sub-study groups. Results During the study period, the three most studied topics ones were orthopedic trauma (n=536; 28.1%), adult reconstruction and arthroplasty (n=301; 15.8%) and spine surgery (n=203; 10.6%). The least studied subject was bone and soft tissue tumors with 3.8% (n=73). The topic with the highest rate of publication in all years was again orthopedic trauma. There was a very strong positive (r=0.876) correlation between the total number of thesis publications and the years (p<0.001; R2=0.767). Based on institutions types, the number of theses published in the training and research hospitals increased as of 2016. More theses were published than expected on orthopedic trauma, adult reconstruction and arthroplasty, sports injuries and arthroscopy, shoulder and elbow surgery, foot and ankle surgery in the training and research hospitals (p=0.003). Conclusion The orthopedic research trends were differentiated over the years in our country. The classification of the orthopedic thesis topics shows in which orthopedics subfield research subjects are concentrated in our country and in which fields, research is needed.

“…Neuropathic pain (70.14%) is the most popular subject after SCI. Moreover, neuropathic pain had the highest number of publications (512), citations (16,045), and open-access papers (268) and the highest H -index value (77). Notably, average musculoskeletal muscle pain had the most citations per article (67.17).…”

“…Based on the types of pain, the majority of the included articles involved neuropathic pain and treating pain after SCI. Amongst the top 10 types of pain (neuropathic pain, treating pain, nociceptive pain, animal models of pain, spontaneous pain, persistent pain, shoulder pain, musculoskeletal pain, low back pain, and upper extremity pain), neuropathic pain had the largest number of publications (506), citations (16,045), and open-access papers (266) and the highest H-index value (77), indicating that neuropathic pain has attracted wide attention from researchers, and it is also an urgent problem for patients after spinal cord injury. In the cocitation map of references, "neurofeedback" was labeled as the largest cluster (#0), the second-largest clusters were "multidimensional pain inventory" (#1) and "hyperexcitability" (#2), and the third was "quisqualic acid" (#3).…”

Background. The prevalence of comorbid pain after spinal cord injury (SCI) is relatively high in clinical observations and has continued to increase over time. Neuropathic pain (70.14%) is the most popular subject in academic journals after SCI. However, studies that used the bibliometric method to analyze comorbid pain after SCI are still lacking. This study is aimed at combining and integrating acquired information to analyze the global trends of research on the comorbidity of pain after SCI in the last three decades (1990–2019). Methods. Systematic works of literature published from 1990 to 2019 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace software was used to analyze the relationship of publication year with the country, institution, journals, authors, references, and keywords. The regression analysis is used to evaluate the percentage of the category increase or decrease over time significantly. IBM SPSS Statistics was used in the statistical analysis. Results. A total of 730 publications were included in the analysis. A remarkable increase in the number of publications was observed in the study period ( P < 0.05 ). A total of 202 academic journals focused on the categories of clinical neurology, neurosciences, and rehabilitation, and the annual growth rate of articles in these three categories was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The USA (356, 48.77%) and the University of Miami (64, 8.77%) were the country and institution with the highest number of publications, respectively. Spinal Cord, which was the main journal for research on pain after SCI, had the most publications (88, 12.05%). Burst keywords showed that the individual, inflammation, and central sensitization with pain after SCI are the research development trends and focus in this research field. Conclusions. Overall, this study provides the latest research direction for pain after SCI. This historical overview of research into pain after SCI will be a useful basis for further research into development trends, focus issues, cooperators, and cooperative institutions.

“…Bibliometrics provides the informetrics basis for origins of technology needs and solution phases. In the context of orthopedics research, assessments have addressed a specific aspect of publication output, corresponding to regions (Eom, Bamne, Chowdhry, Chae, & Kim, 2015), countries (Çatal, Akman, Şükür, & Azboy, 2018;Cheng, 2012;Churchill et al, 2019), surgeons (Choudhari, Agrawal, & Shaikh, 2017;Saab et al, 2019), or publication impact (Ahmad et al, 2016;Li, Xu, Long, & Ho, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019). By contrast, in terms of technological advancements, comprehensive technical review papers are the norm (Merola & Affatato, 2019), focusing narrowly on innovations themselves.…”

Scientific discoveries and innovations have served as the backbone for technological advancements, which can impart societal benefits and address critical needs in areas such as public health. For example, the modern hip implant has proven to be an effective treatment for joint-related diseases like arthritis. In the procedure, artificial joints are used to replace damaged or worn joints which can restore mobility and relieve concomitant pains. Today, many materials and implant parameters such as geometry, shape, and angle are available to surgeons, which can support a positive treatment outcome. Considering the significance, it is of interest to retroactively reflect on the technological evolutionary pathways. Technological assessment is not new, but evaluating the process is necessary for optimizing best-case outcomes. Technological developments follow the cycle of of need and solution, leading to both radical and incremental advancements. In this work, we examine the research patterns and contributions that have shaped the technical discourse, using a commonplace hip implant material as an illustrative study from the scholarly perspective. In the span of 5 decades, output for polyethylene-related works grew from 2 in the late 1970s, to 2,123 publications in the 2010s, totaling over 4,600 publications with contributions from surgeons, biologists, engineers, physicists, and chemists. We disentangle components within the ecosystem and discuss the validity of insights from a bibliometric perspective. The reconciliation of technological developments to the impact is dependent on the aims of the assessment. Whilst it is found that bibliometrics analysis could help to disambiguate the technological innovations involving materials systems, advanced computer modeling, and detailed clinical trials, there are socioeconomic aspects, such as health systems, that are not easily validated. To maintain a greater degree of neutrality, the assessment of both public and private will benefit the interpretation of a multi-level system.
