The top 100 most cited articles on intramedullary nail fixation from 2018-2022: a bibliometric and visualized analysis

CONCLUSIONS: This analysis revealed that the highest volume of high-impact research output focused on intramedullary nailing over the past 5 years has been produced by the USA, followed by China and the UK. The most influential journals in this research space were Injury International Journal of The Care of The Injured and the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, while the institutions associated with the most highly cited articles were the University of California System and the University System of Ohio. Intramedullary nailing is commonly utilized to treat intertrochanteric fractures and other tubular bone fractures. In the future, the application of augmented and virtual reality technologies may help shorten the learning curve for orthopedic surgeons and trauma surgeons who are learning intramedullary nailing-related techniques, and the combination of intramedullary nailing with antibacterial drugs, metal alloys, 3D navigation, and sensor devices may help improve patient outcomes.PMID:38497851 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35582
