A bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited genioplasty articles (1950-2025)
Abstract
Aims: Genioplasty is a widely used surgical technique to correct chin deformities and improve facial harmony. Despite its clinical relevance, a systematic evaluation of influential studies and research trends in this field is lacking. This study aimed to identify and analyze the 100 most cited articles on genioplasty through bibliometric methods.
Methods: A title-specific search using the keyword “genioplasty” was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection on July 25, 2025, covering the years 1950 to 2025. A total of 403 articles were retrieved and ranked by total citation count. After screening titles and abstracts, the 100 most cited articles with a primary focus on genioplasty were selected by two independent reviewers. Extracted data included publication year, journal name, total citations, average citations per year, authorship, study design, and primary topic. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.
Results: Citation counts ranged from 13 to 86. Most articles were published after 2000, with a peak in the 2010s. The Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (n=20) and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (n=13) were the most represented journals. The most common topics were surgical technique (n=45) and outcome evaluation (n=34). Retrospective (n=35) and prospective (n=25) cohort studies dominated, while randomized controlled trials were rare (n=3).
Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis reveals the leading themes, study types, and journals in genioplasty research, offering valuable insight for future investigations in facial skeletal surgery.
