Abstract: BACKGROUND: There is no objective and systematic analysis of data reported in the literature regarding pelvic reduction techniques, which is not conducive to the rapid and intuitive understanding of relevant research trends.
OBJECTIVE: To search Chinese and English databases for all research data on pelvic reduction techniques, and to analyze the current regional characteristics, research status and development trends of pelvic reduction techniques.
METHODS: A search of CNKI and Web of Science was performed for all relevant literatures on pelvic reduction published from inception to March 26, 2020. CiteSpace software was used to perform a document visual analysis in terms of publication year, country, journal content as well as author cooperation, document types, and key words. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In total, 149 articles were included, and the number of publications was generally on the rise. The number of publications was the most in the United Stated, with the highest citations, whereas China ranked 5th, with mutual references with the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia ranking at the top. The research hotspots in this field mainly include the application of pelvic reduction techniques to deal with diseases of orthopedics and traumatology, and American chiropractic treatments for pelvic reduction that affect the reproductive and urinary systems in men and women. The clinical application of pelvic reduction techniques was relatively simple in the early stage, and mostly limited to related diseases of orthopedics and traumatology. With the development and maturity of medical technology, related reduction techniques have developed to focus on orthopedics and traumatology, rehabilitation, as well as rehabilitative therapies for diseases in gynecology, obstetrics, urology, and sports. With the continuous deepening of research on pelvic reconstruction techniques, increasingly closed exchanges between China and foreign countries and more complete data sharing platform, related applications and research prospects look promising. Existing pelvic reduction techniques focus on the displacement of bony joints, whereas further exploration on the long-term efficacy is warranted. Pelvic reduction makes some changes in tissue structure displacement, which influences vascular hemodynamics, nerve conduction, biochemical factors and signal pathways. This may be the future direction of in-depth research.
