Objective:
Despite the abundance of research on the biomechanics of scoliosis, there is a lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. This study utilizes bibliometric methods to elucidate the research trends and hotspots within this domain.
Methods:
The data for this study were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection and then analyzed using the open-source Bibliometrix R package and Citespace.
Results:
The analysis encompassed 410 publications published from 1999 to 2023. There is a sustained increase in the number of publications within the field. Utilizing citation analysis and keyword analysis, the study identified key research focuses. Burst keyword analysis identified 19 keywords.
Conclusions:
The period from 1999 to 2023 has witnessed significant research attention on the biomechanics of scoliosis. The demographic shift towards an aging population has recently increased interest in ASD. Proximal biomechanical changes and transitional zones in PJK and PJF are hotspots in research, offering emerging scholars in this discipline valuable opportunities for exploration.
