Mapping the Research Landscape of Nasoethmoid Orbital Fractures: A Bibliometric and Co-Occurrence Analysis of the Top 50 Cited Articles
Abstract
This bibliometric study analyses the top 50 most-cited articles on nasoethmoid orbital (NOE) fractures, sourced from PubMed and Scopus. Using VOSviewer software, the authors performed keyword co-occurrence analysis to identify thematic clusters and research trends. Four major clusters emerged: orbital fracture anatomy, facial trauma, CT imaging, and Nose Fracture & nasal injury. The findings highlight the dominance of anatomic complexity, imaging technologies, and surgical planning in NOE fracture literature. This study provides a structured overview of the field and suggests future directions for clinical and academic focus.
