Abstract：
Primary joint replacements are performed increasingly often worldwide, driven by an aging population, improvement in surgical techniques, and advancements in implant designs. While more attention has traditionally been focused on weight-bearing joints such as the hip and knee, shoulder replacement surgeries have gained increasing attention in recent years due to the population\'s demand for a better quality of life. Thus far, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of shoulder arthroplasty-related publications using the Scopus database has not yet been conducted. This bibliometric analysis aims to fill this gap by reviewing the Scopus database from its inception until 2023 to examine the literature on shoulder arthroplasty. A total of 5300 publications meeting the selection criteria were included in this analysis. The turn of the century marked a significant turning point for the field of shoulder arthroplasty, with an increasing number of publications produced annually. This trend can be attributed to the improvement of implant designs, which have become more consistent and reliable over time. While the majority of articles were authored by researchers and clinicians from the United States of America (USA), publications by French authors had a higher scholarly impact in the field. There is a noticeable gap in research on shoulder arthroplasty in developing countries, possibly due to the prohibitively high cost of implants and the prioritization of other healthcare sectors. This bibliometric analysis, utilizing Scopus data, serves as a guiding light for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers, potentially fostering collaborative projects and guiding the development of future studies to further advance the field of shoulder arthroplasty, particularly in developing countries.
摘要：
主要关节置换在全球范围内越来越频繁地进行，在人口老龄化的推动下，手术技术的改进，和植入物设计的进步。虽然传统上更多的注意力集中在髋关节和膝关节等负重关节上，近年来，由于人们对更好的生活质量的需求，肩关节置换手术越来越受到重视。到目前为止,尚未使用Scopus数据库对肩关节置换术相关出版物进行全面的文献计量分析.此文献计量分析旨在通过回顾Scopus数据库从成立到2023年，以检查有关肩关节成形术的文献来填补这一空白。该分析中包括总共5300种符合选择标准的出版物。世纪之交标志着肩关节置换术领域的重大转折点,每年出版的出版物越来越多。这种趋势可以归因于植入物设计的改进，随着时间的推移，它们变得更加一致和可靠。虽然大多数文章是由来自美利坚合众国（美国）的研究人员和临床医生撰写的，法国作家的出版物在该领域产生了更高的学术影响。发展中国家对肩关节置换术的研究存在明显差距,可能是由于植入物的成本过高以及其他医疗保健部门的优先考虑。这个文献计量分析，利用Scopus数据，作为研究人员的指路明灯，临床医生,和政策制定者，可能促进合作项目和指导未来研究的发展，以进一步推进肩关节置换术领域，特别是在发展中国家。
