Summary
This bibliometric study analyzes acetabular labrum (AL) research, revealing the United States as a leader and identifying key trends like femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and osteoarthritis.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
- Bibliometrics and Scientometrics
Background:
- The acetabular labrum (AL) is vital for hip joint function.
- Understanding research trends is crucial for advancing AL-related knowledge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a bibliometric overview of acetabular labrum (AL) research.
- To identify current research hotspots and future trends in AL studies.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 1918 AL-related records (2000-2023) from Web of Science.
- Utilized HisCite, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R package 'bibliometrix' for data analysis.
- Analyzed regions, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords.
Main Results:
- Global research output on AL is increasing, with the United States leading in publications and citations.
- The American Hip Institute is the most prolific institution; Benjamin G. Domb and Marc J. Philippon are leading authors.
- Key research clusters include acetabular labrum (AL), femoral acetabular impingement (FAI), and osteoarthritis. Trending topics include survivorship and patient-reported outcomes.
Conclusions:
- This study offers the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of AL research.
- Identifies key contributors, popular journals, and emerging research frontiers in the field.
- Provides valuable insights for researchers and clinicians in hip joint health and AL-related conditions.
