Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Deformity
  • Bibliometrics

Background:

  • Spinal deformity surgery is a complex and expanding field.
  • The field's progress relies on the contributions of dedicated researchers and clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze the 100 most cited articles in spinal deformity surgery.
  • To understand the historical development and key trends within this surgical subspecialty.

Main Methods:

  • A bibliometric review was conducted using the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge database.
  • Citations, authorship, publication year, journal, country, and institution were recorded for relevant articles on scoliosis and spinal deformity.

Main Results:

  • The most cited article was Lenke et al. (2001) on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis classification.
  • Harrington's (1962) work on spinal instrumentation and King et al. (1983) on arthrodesis levels were also highly cited.
  • Most articles originated from the United States, were published in 'Spine', and focused on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, spinal instrumentation, and surgical complications.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying seminal works provides insight into the evolution and trends of spinal deformity surgery.
  • This analysis highlights key contributors and foundational knowledge for current evidence-based decision-making in the field.
