Abstract：Objective To explore the research status and hotspots of polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)bone cement by bibliometric analysis of the number of published papers,countries,institutions,journals,authors and keywords of studies related to PMMA bone cement.Methods Based on the Web of Science core collection database,CiteSpace software and bibliometrics online analysis platform were used to process and visually analyze the included literature data.Results A total of 1 951 literatures were included.The United States ranked first in the number of articles(444 articles)and centrality(0.43).The top three research institutions with the highest number of articles were University of Bern in Switzerland(39 articles),AO Foundation in Switzerland(34 articles),Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan,China(34 articles),and Soochow University in China(33 articles).The keyword with the highest degree of emergence in the keyword emergence analysis was total hip arthroplasty(emergence intensity 15.28).Conclusion The research on PMMA bone cement mainly focuses on the indications of clinical use and the modification of material properties.China has formed some research teams with strong scientific research ability in this field,but the depth and breadth of research should be paid attention to and international cooperation should be strengthened.
