Abstract
Abstract Background Gluteal tendon pathology (medius/minimus tears) is an increasingly recognized cause of lateral hip pain and functional impairment, predominantly affecting middle-aged and older women. Literature on surgical repair of gluteal tendon tears has observed a substantial increase, particularly with the rise of endoscopic approaches over the past two decades. However, the literature has not characterized the global evolution and research trends within this field. This bibliometric analysis maps the scholarly literature on gluteal tendon repair, drawn from the top 50 most-cited publications in the Scopus database. Methods The Scopus database was used for an initial search query and to export the 50 highest-cited publications. Studies involving total hip replacement or those not focusing on surgical technique were excluded. Information on study name, citation number, author, publication year, study design (cohort study, review article, descriptive article, randomized controlled studies), level of evidence where reported, source journal, institutional and national affiliations, and gluteal repair type were collected. Results The 50 analyzed publications accumulated 2,913 total citations, with an average of 58.3 citations per study and a maximum value of 204 citations. Studies from the United States accounted for the largest share of citations (n = 2,104). Eight countries were represented, with the United States publishing the most studies (n = 32). The publications spanned over 28 years (1994-2022), with 2020 having the most publications (n = 7). The largest category comprised technique and anatomy papers, and level IV evidence was the most prevalent. 28 studies focused on endoscopic repair, 17 studies focused on open surgical repair, and 5 studies focused on both surgical techniques. Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery published the highest proportion of studies, and B. Domb, G. Janes, and S. Nho were the most frequent senior authors. Conclusions The United States leads in publication volume and total citations regarding gluteal tendon repairs. The American Hip Institute and University of Western Australia affiliates are the field's most productive contributors. Within the corpus, the primary study types reported were technique descriptions and retrospective cohort studies, whereas prospective and comparative evidence studies were less prevalent.
