Global trends in the research on Legg-Calve-Perthes disease in Web of Science.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a form of idiopathic femoral head necrosis that can lead to permanent femoral head deformities and premature osteoarthritis in children under the age of 15. Its pathogenesis is utterly and remains to be clarified. Although many research publications on LCPD have emerged during the last few decades, few systematic bibliometric analyses of these articles have been reported.

Methods

A bibliometric analysis was performed to investigate the development processes and hotspots, as well as the collaboration and influence among countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords of papers relevant to LCPD from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) during the period from 1 January 2000 to 30 June 2023.
