“…Early-onset congenital scoliosis specifically pertains to congenital scoliosis in individuals under the age of 10. Due to the presence of congenital vertebral deformities and ongoing asymmetric spinal growth, it can lead to severe consequences, including cardiopulmonary injury and paraplegia [5]. In such cases, nonsurgical treatments often yield limited therapeutic effects.…”

Background: Compared to adult scoliosis, correcting scoliosis in children often presents greater challenges. This is attributed to two key factors. Firstly, it involves accounting for the growth potential of children. Secondly, the thinner pedicles in children can complicate screw insertion, particularly when dealing with existing deformities. The utilization of intraoperative navigation technology offers a modest improvement in the precision of screw placement but does come with the drawback of increased radiation exposure. The aim of this study is to investigate and assess the accuracy of manually inserting pedicle screws in the thoracic and lumbar spine to rectify deformities in children with early-onset congenital scoliosis. Methods: In this retrospective study, 26 hospitalized patients diagnosed with early-onset congenital scoliosis between December 2014 and December 2019 were selected. The cohort comprised 16 boys and 10 girls, aged between 2 and 10 years, with an average age of 4.68 ± 2.42 years. Pedicle screw fixation was applied in the segment spanning from T1 to L5. Pedicle screws were inserted manually, guided by the positioning of the C-arm and anatomical markers. The assessment of pedicle screw placement was based on the distance of penetration into the medial, lateral, or anterior bone cortex of the vertebral body, including the pedicle, categorized into three grades: Grade 1 (placement <2 mm), Grade 2 (placement between 2-4 mm), and Grade 3 (placement >4 mm). Grade 1 indicates accurate pedicle screw placement, while Grades 2 and 3 signify abnormal pedicle screw placement.Complications related to pedicle screw insertion were also recorded, both during and after the surgical procedure. Results: A total of 173 pedicle screws were inserted in this study, with an average of 6.65 screws per patient. Accurate screw placement was achieved in 143 cases (82.7%), while 30 pedicle screws were found to be abnormal. Among the abnormal screws, 24 were categorized as Grade 2 (13.9%), and 6 as Grade 3 (3.5%). Grade 2 abnormalities were distributed across 20 thoracic vertebrae and 4 lumbar vertebrae, while Grade 3 abnormalities affected 5 thoracic vertebrae and 1 lumbar vertebra. When comparing the lumbar and thoracic vertebral regions, a significant difference in the rate of abnormal screw placement was observed (χ 2 = 5.801, p < 0.05). The rate of abnormal screw placement was higher in the thoracic vertebral region with abnormal vertebral bodies than in the lumbar vertebral regions. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference in the rate of abnormal screw placement was found between the concave and convex sides (χ 2 = 23.047, p < 0.05). The concave side of the abnormal vertebral body had a higher rate of abnormal screw placement (55.6%, 15/27) compared to the convex side (20.1%, 7/34), and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Throughout the intraoperative and postoperative follow-up period, spanning from 12 to 56 months, only one patient experienced issues with wound healing, and no co...

“…Similar methods have been employed by researchers in related fields for systematic bibliometric analysis. [9][10][11][12][13] While there is extensive research in the field of degenerative scoliosis, mainly comprising original studies and reviews, systematic bibliometric research is limited. The abundance of studies can make it difficult to ascertain and summarize the development, focus, and trends of research.…”

Purpose Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) research lacks bibliometric analysis, despite numerous studies. This study aimed to systematically analyze the development, current status, hot topics, frontier areas, and trends in ADS research. Patients and Methods A systematic literature review was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database from January 1998 to June 2023. Information regarding the country, institution, author, journal, and keywords was collected for each article. Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer and Citespace software. Results The final analysis covered 1695 publications, demonstrating a steady increase in ADS research. The United States was the most prolific and influential country with 684 publications, followed by China and Japan. The University of California System was the most productive institution with 113 publications. Shaffrey, CI (47 publications) and Lenke, LG (41 publications) were top authors. The analysis revealed seven main research clusters: “intervertebral disc”, “adult spinal deformity”, “lumbar fusion”, “minimally invasive surgery”, “navigation”, “postoperative complications”, and “mental retardation”. Keywords with strong bursts of activity included degeneration, prevalence, imbalance, classification, lumbar spinal stenosis, and kyphosis. Conclusion In conclusion, in recent years, ADS research has undergone rapid development. This study analyzed its hot topics, advancements, and research directions, making it the latest bibliometric analysis in this field. The findings aim to provide a new perspective and guidance for clinical practitioners and researchers.

“…A statistical and mathematical method named bibliometrics is designed to quantify the influence and features of the literature. 7 , 8 A bibliometric approach has been broadly used in the orthopedic field, for example, in proximal femur fractures, 9 scoliosis, 10 developmental dysplasia of the hip, 11 and osteoporosis. 12 This study analyzed the overall literature data related to pediatric fractures for the 2017–2022 period by bibliometric analysis using software, such as Citespace 6.1.R6, comparing and analyzing pediatric fracture data for the first and last 3 years.…”

Objective: This review provides guidance and ideas for researchers through a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the present state, trends, and hotspots in the pediatric fracture literature over the past 6 years. Methods: We used Citespace 6.1.R6 software to explore the country/region distribution, institutions, journals, keyword analysis, and co-cited references of the literature from Web of Science core database. Results: There are 6472 pieces of pediatric fracture–related literature, including 2962 from 2017 to 2019 and 3510 from 2020 to 2022. The country with the most papers is the United States, and US institutions and journals also have a pivotal position in this field. Research hotspots for pediatric fractures in 2017–2019: The topic with the most attention is bone mineral density leading to related bone diseases. Treatment for pediatric fractures, including supracondylar humeral fractures, Monteggia fractures, forearm fractures, knee fractures, and ankle fractures in children, is another topic of greater interest. Brain injuries and dental injuries in children due to abuse and trauma are also concerning issues. Research hotspots for pediatric fractures in 2020–2022: comparison with 2017–2019 revealed a relative decrease regarding ankle-related epiphyseal injuries, but there is a higher focus on the epidemiology of fractures in children, risk factors, and reasons for childhood trauma. We have confirmed through literature co-citations that the literature of high interest is also in these aspects. Conclusion: Researchers and clinicians can quickly learn about topics of interest through authoritative journals and highly cited literature and rapidly master the current status and frontiers of the field through study, providing ideas for future work.
