| description | BackgroundLegg–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.MethodsA 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.ResultsA total of 2,205 researchers from 916 institutions across 53 countries/regions have contributed to 673 papers published in 199 academic journals. The research on LCPD has shown significant fluctuations but a gradual increase in the number of articles published over the last two decades. The United States leads in the number of publications of LCPD, with the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children being the most productive institution. English, as the most widely used language in the world, was undoubtedly the most popular language. Herring JA, who acted as both the corresponding and first author, has contributed to the most co-cited papers published. The most number of LCPD papers are published in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, whereas the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume garnered the highest total citations, indicating the great importance of these two journals in the field of orthopedics. The most frequently used keywords in published articles were related to the symptoms, mechanisms, and prognosis, revealing the research focus of most scholars.ConclusionOur research described the development trends and hotspots in the research field of LCPD and will help researchers make better decisions. |
