Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is well known that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the main imaging test method for the evaluation of meniscus injury as a non-invasive technology.
OBJECTIVE: To multivariately analyze the literature on meniscus injury diagnosed by MRI through Science Citation Index Database (SCI) and its analysis tool.
DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis.
DATA RETRIEVAL: A computer-based online search of related literatures was performed in SCI database from January 2001 to December 2010 using the key words of “meniscus, damage or injury, MRI”. The retrieval results were analyzed, and the trends were described in words and graphics.
SELECTION CRITERIA: ①The documents related to the types, treatment, effects and imaging features of meniscus injury diagnosed by MRI were selected; ②the literatures included articles, reviews, technical studies and proceedings papers; ③Unpublished articles, meeting abstracts and those needed to be obtained by manual or phone search were excluded.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The literatures were analyzed by national distribution, institutional information, foundation, publish year, discipline distribution, citation frequency and authors.
RESULTS: A total of 448 literatures were retrieved. The United States published the largest number of the articles, with 43% of all literature in the field. The funded projects were dispersed. The amount and citation frequency of the literature were increased year by year. CONCLUSION: This paper provides a valuable reference for researchers to understand the overview and present situation of this field in order to set further research.
