Top 100 Cited Articles On Geriatric Hip Fractures İn Orthopaedics: A Bibliometric And Visualised Analysis

Objective: Hip fracture is one of the most critical health problems which the orthopaedic surgeons faced in the elderly population. Geriatric hip fractures are common, leading to high mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study is to analyze the current status of hip fractures, global trends, and clinical research status. Methods: Top hundred articles related to the geriatrci hip fractures were taken from the Web of Science Core Collection. Basic information including number of citations, of publication, the authors, title, country , and year journal was extracted. The keywords were visualized using the VOSviewer. Results: After the application of the study criteria, it was observed that there were 591 articles published between 1980-2020. Among the 100 articles, there were totally 7,376 citations. There were averagely 73.76 citations per article. A total of 419 authors, 168 institutes and 23 nations and regions published relevant articles. The most used keywords were hip fracture, mortality, and elderly. Conclusion: In this study , the first 100 articles summarised can help researchers characterise outstanding literature in this field, figure out the history of hip fracture research in the elderly, and plan future research. Geriatric hip fractures result in situations extending far beyond orthopedics that concern many disciplines such as preventive medicine ,epidemiology, endocrinology,internal medicine, gerontology, and critical care. Research, interest, and publications continue to grow.
