Insights

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted orthopedic research, with the United States leading publications. This analysis guides future orthopedic studies during global health crises.

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected global health, particularly orthopedic specialties.
  • There has been a notable increase in published orthopedic research related to COVID-19.
  • Understanding this research landscape is crucial for future scientific endeavors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a bibliometric analysis of orthopedic literature published during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022).
  • To identify key trends, influential authors, countries, journals, and publication types.
  • To provide insights for future orthopedic research and global collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • Searched the Scopus database for literature from 2020-2022 using COVID-19 and orthopedic keywords.
  • Analyzed top cited authors, countries, journals, and articles using spreadsheet software.
  • Utilized VOSviewer for network visualization of the literature.

Main Results:

  • A total of 1619 relevant publications were identified.
  • The United States was the most active country, R. Vaishya the most prolific author.
  • Original articles were the most common publication type, with the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume being the most cited journal.

Conclusions:

  • The study offers a comprehensive overview of orthopedic publication trends during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Findings highlight the need for strengthened global cooperation in addressing epidemics within orthopedic research.
  • This analysis serves as a valuable resource for researchers aiming to contribute to the field.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
