Abstract：Objective To visually analyze the research literature related to robotic surgery in orthopedics both domestically and internationally,and to explore the research hotspots and frontiers in depth,providing reference for subsequent research.Methods The center theme of"robotic surgery in orthopedics"was searched in the core database of Web of Science and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database,and the keywords,authors,and institutions were analyzed using CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software.A visual map was made.Results A total of 275 articles were included in the Web of Science core database search from the establishment to February 2024,and 264 articles were included in the CNKI database search.The number of articles published both domestically and internationally had increased slowly,and several professional research teams had been formed.Armand was the author who had published the most articles abroad;Tian Wei was the author who had published the most articles in China.The keywords of foreign authors were mainly concentrated on"precision","orthopedic surgery","joint replacement","total hip joint replacement","total knee joint replacement",and"navigation",while the keywords of domestic authors were mainly concentrated on"robotic surgery","minimally invasive","artificial intelligence",and"pelvic fracture".The keyword clustering analysis found that#0(total hip joint replacement)and#1(spine)appeared with many significant keyword nodes in foreign countries;and#0(orthopedic surgery)cluster in China appeared with many prominent keyword nodes.Conclusions The comprehensive visual analysis reveals that robotic orthopedic surgery is rapidly developing and will continue to be a focus of research in the orthopedic field.Both domestic and foreign research have commonalities and differences,and spinal surgery and artificial joint replacement are the focus of future research.
