Abstract: BACKGROUND: With the aging of the population, the number of joint replacement operations is increasing, and correspondingly, the number of joint revision operations is also increasing. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the current research status, research hotspots, and research frontiers in the field of joint revision is of great significance. 
OBJECTIVE: To perform visual analysis of the related literature in the field of joint revision in recent 20 years through bibliometrics, explore the research hot spots and dynamic trends in this field in order to provide a reference for further research. 
METHODS: Computer searches of CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2022 were conducted to include relevant literature on joint revision. Duplicate data were removed using Note Express (3.9.0.9588) software. The scientific knowledge map was drawn by using CiteSpace (6.2.R6), VOS viewer (1.6.20), and Excel (2016) software on the number of papers published, the cooperative network of authors and institutions, the co-occurrence, emergence and clustering of keywords. 

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 1 806 articles were included. In the past 20 years, the overall trend of the annual publication volume in this field tended to be stable. (2) Analysis of the collaborative network showed that the author with the most publications and the highest intermediary centrality was Zhou Yixin; the institution with the most publications was Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, where Zhou Yixin worked, and the institution with the highest intermediary centrality was the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. (3) Keyword analysis showed that the research focus was mainly on hip joint, infection, rehabilitation nursing, bone defect, and prosthesis loosening. (4) The visual analysis of the literature in the field of joint revision clarifies the context for the research in this field, provides research ideas and methods for many scholars, and reveals the research trend and frontier hot spots in this field.
