Abstract

Background: In the past decade, the evolution of themes in the field of osteoporotic fractures has changed from epidemiology and prediction of long-term morbidity, risk assessment of osteoporotic fractures, and zoledronic acid and denosumab in the treatment of osteoporosis to treatment guidelines for osteoporosis and the side effects caused by anti-osteoporotic drugs.

Aim: To understand the trends and hotspots in osteoporotic fracture research.

Methods: Original articles were retrieved between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019, from the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace software facilitated the analysis and visualization of scientific productivity and emerging trends.

Results: Nine studies were identified using bibliometric indices, including citation, centrality, and sigma value, which might indicate a growing trend. Through clustering, we identified six major hot subtopics. Using burst analysis, top-5 references with the strongest bursting strength after 2017 were identified, indicating a future hotspot in this field.

Conclusion: Current hot subtopics in osteoporotic fracture research include atypical femoral fractures, androgen deprivation therapy, denosumab discontinuation, hip fractures, trabecular bone score (TBS), and bone phenotype. Management and prevention of secondary fractures in patients with osteoporotic fractures, TBSs, and long-term administration strategy for zoledronic acid are expected to become research hotspots.
