| Abstract: | BackgroundThe bibliometric studies in the field of orthopaedics have gained popularity since they can determine the characteristics and research trends of most influential papers in specific subjects. This study aimed to evaluate the 50 most-cited articles related to hallux rigidus, and analyze possible factors associated with increased citation counts.MethodsThe available literature about hallux rigidus on Web of Science database until January 2021 were analyzed and the 50 most-cited articles were determined. The characteristics of the papers were documented and analyzed for any relationship or correlation with total citation or citation per year (citation density) values.ResultsThe average citation number and citation density were 52.8 (range: 26–243) and 3 (range: 0.8–12.8), respectively. The average author number was 3.4, while the average institution number was 1.9. The USA had the highest number of articles with 29. Twenty-six papers were case-series, only 3 studies had level 1 and only 2 had level 2 evidence. The highest number of articles were published in Foot and Ankle International with 22 papers. Forty papers were clinical studies while 10 were reviews. Five studies were multicentric.ConclusionThis study provided the general characteristic and research trends of 50 most influential hallux rigidus papers. The number of institutions and references were positively correlated with citation density, indicating a higher chance of getting cited for papers with collaborations from different institutions and papers using more references from other works. Publication year was also positively correlated with citation density, indicating the better performance of more recent articles.Level of Clinical EvidenceLevel 3 |
