Mapping theme trends and recognizing research hot spots in the use of ultrasound in orthopaedics: a bibliometric analysis of global research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the past decade, ultrasound has been increasingly used in the field of orthopaedics. The purpose of this study is to inspire future research in this field by analyzing the publications relating to ultrasound research in orthopaedics.

Methods

All relevant articles published between 2009 and 2020 were retrieved from Web of Science. Statistical Package for Social Science and GraphPad Prism 8 software were used to generate and analyse diagrams. VOSviewer software and CiteSpace were employed to visualize the research trends based on co-occurring keywords. Finally, we obtained information about relevant clinical randomized controlled trials (http://clinicaltrials.gov.com/).

Results

The United States had the most publications in this field and the most citation
