Abstract

Purpose: Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is a severe disease which is one of the leading causes of body dysfunction as well as anterior knee pain. In recent years, multiple researches have occurred in this area. However, worldwide research on this disease is not well displayed. The purpose of our study is to explore the research hotspot and direction of PFOA-related diseases. Methods: Publications on PFOA-related diseases from 2001 to 2020 were retrieved from Web of Science (WoS) database. Then the bibliometric method was used to analyze the data. In terms of visualization research, the VOS viewer was used to generate bibliographic coupling for co-occurrence analysis and further simulate the publishing trends in PFOA related fields. A total of 283 keywords met the threshold and were selected for co-occurrence analysis. Results: A total of 3215 publications were included. The number of publications is increasing every year. The United States is at the forefront of the world in this area, with the number and quality of publications (measured by the H index) ranking first in the world. The journal “Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy” has published the most manuscripts, the University of California system has contributed the most studies among all the institutions, while the researcher Crossley KM is the most prolific author in this field. The PFOA-related studies could be divided into four clusters: “Dynamics, symptomatology and rehabilitation study”, “Imaging and basic experimental study”, “Alignment and functional study” and “Perioperative management study”. Conclusions: According to the analysis of current global trends, publications on PFOA-related research will continue to increase. The United States is now the leading country in this field, with both the largest number and the highest quality of researches. Among the four groups of studies related to PFOA, “Dynamics, symptomatology and rehabilitation study”, “Perioperative management study” and “Alignment and functional study” are considered as the current popular research directions in the PFOA-related studies.
