The keywords were “sacroiliac joint malposition, sacroiliac joint subluxation, sacroiliac joint derangement, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and synovial interposing of sacroiliac joint”. The publication time, literature type, journal distribution, nomenclature of sacroiliac joint malposition and its treatment, and high-frequency were analyzed by bibliometrics.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Totally 1 096 articles were retrieved initially, and finally 472 articles were enrolled based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. (2) The study of sacroiliac joint malposition reached a peak in 2013 (37 articles (7.8%). From 2000 to 2016, a total of 354 papers were published (75.0%). (3) There were most periodical papers (89.4%) in the literature, followed by conference papers (8.7%). Among them, clinical researches accounted for 71.8%, while basic researches accounted for only 1.9%. (4) The 472 papers were distributed in 159 kinds of journals, and the
Journal of Chinese Manipulation & Rehabilitation Medicine, the
Journal of Traditional Chinese Orthopedics and
Traumatology and
the China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology published more articles than other periodical, amounting 13.3%, 5.2% and 4.0%, respectively. (5) The sacroiliac joint malposition related studies named after Sacroiliac Joint Malposition accounted for 33.3%, named after Sacroiliac Joint Subluxation accounted for 27.1%, and named after Sacroiliac Joint Derangement accounted for 23.7%. (6) Manipulative techniques/Chiropractic techniques/Massage techniques/

(8) These results imply that in the past 40 years, the overall study of sacroiliac joint malposition shows an upward trend. Since 2000, the sacroiliac joint malposition researches have entered a hot period, but the researches are mainly based on clinical researches, lacking basic researches. In China, the nomenclature of sacroiliac joint malposition is confused, but mainly named after Sacroiliac Joint Malposition and Sacroiliac Joint Subluxation.
Tui-Na treatment is the main treatment of sacroiliac joint malposition, but the basic researches on the treatment mechanism are few, which needs an in-depth investigation.
