Summary
This study identifies the 100 most cited knee osteotomy publications. These influential papers, primarily case series and cohort studies, offer a foundational reference for orthopedic practitioners and future research in knee osteotomy.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Biomedical Engineering
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Knee osteotomy is a surgical procedure gaining renewed interest.
- Identifying influential research is crucial for advancing the field.
- A comprehensive overview of seminal works is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To objectively identify the 100 most influential scientific publications in knee osteotomy.
- To analyze the key characteristics of these highly cited studies.
- To provide a reference for practitioners and guide future research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using the Clarivate Analytics Web of Knowledge database.
- Searched for publications related to knee osteotomy.
- Ranked articles by citation count and extracted publication details.
Main Results:
- The top 100 knee osteotomy publications garnered 16,246 citations.
- Most influential studies were published between 1976 and 2015.
- Leading countries of origin were the United States, Germany, and Japan.
- Case series (55%) and cohort studies (19%) were the predominant study designs.
Conclusions:
- The 100 most influential knee osteotomy studies represent significant contributions to the field.
- These foundational works predominantly feature case series and cohort designs.
- This analysis serves as a guide to key literature and highlights areas for future research focus.

01:23Knee Joint
1.6K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
2.3K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

01:31Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
2.8K
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...

01:10Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula
2.9K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
3.0K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

01:40Bone Remodeling
38.2K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
