Abstract: BACKGROUND: Discussing the research status and development trend of cortical bone trajectory screws and understanding the research direction and hotspots of cortical bone trajectory screws will help researchers grasp the latest information and development trends in this field.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the global research status and future development trends of cortical bone trajectory screws.
METHODS: English literature related to cortical bone trajectory screws published from January 1 2000 to October 28, 2021 was searched in the Web of Science core collection database. Bibliometric method was used to count and analyze the collected literature. VOS viewer software was used to perform visualized research on these articles to analyze the research hotspots and development trends of cortical bone trajectory screws.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 426 articles were included. The global research publication volume of cortical bone trajectory screws has increased year by year, with the most published articles in 2020, with a total of 64 articles published. Among them, the United States has the largest number of publications and has the largest contribution to the world, ranking No. 1 (172 papers). China has published 84 papers, ranking second. (2) WORLD NEUROSURGERY has the largest number of related papers at 33; the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Health Human Services are the most funded. (3) Matsukawa K is the author with the most published articles, with 19 articles; Yato Y ranked second, with 14 articles published. (4) From the visual analysis of cortical bone trajectory screw research, the research in this field still has a lot of room for exploration, and the number of publications will continue to increase. The United States and Japan are leading in this field, followed by China. In recent years, the research direction has mainly focused on the surgical treatment of cortical bone trajectory screws.
