Abstract
Background Rotator cuff injury is one of the common injuries of the motor system, which is often manifested as shoulder joint pain, limited movement, weakness and even atrophy of the muscles around the shoulder joint, accounting for 50% ~ 85% of shoulder diseases. Tissue engineering uses synthetic or natural biological materials as scaffolds, combined with seed cells and cytokines to construct implants to repair tissue defects, replace or rebuild the structure of organs, and maintain or improve the function of tissues and organs. In recent years, the application of tissue engineering tools to the tendine-bone interface in addressing rotator cuff injury has emerged as a prominent research area. However, no authors have conducted bibliometric and visual analysis in this field.Methods In this study, articles related to muscular dystrophy omics research since 2000 were retrieved from WoSCC, and analyzed statistically and visually by CiteSpace, VOSViewer and R.Results A total of 340 papers were collected in this study, and the number of papers is increasing year by year. The papers were published in 150 journals by 1,588 co-authors from 450 institutions in 35 countries. A total of 16,116 papers in 2,758 journals were cited. Authors from US institutions published the most papers and were cited the most, and authors from other countries also made considerable contributions.Conclusion This is the first time that the published research results in the field of rotator cuff injury tissue engineering have been bibliometric and visualized through systematic data retrieval combined with a variety of bibliometric analysis tools. Through these data, we summarized the previous research of scholars and prospected the future research in this field.
