Fifty top-cited classic papers in orthopaedic oncology: a bibliometric analysis.
Citation analysis has been used to evaluate the impact of papers in medicine. There has been multitude of orthopaedic oncology-related papers in literature, to our knowledge no citation analysis of orthopaedic oncology papers has been performed. We identified the 50 most-cited orthopaedic oncology papers and evaluated these papers in terms of their time of publication, source journals, countries, institutions, authors, and main topics. ⋯ It is difficult to define the exact impact of a single paper in the literature. In doing citation analysis, it provides us perspective in the history and progress of orthopaedic oncology.

Histological score for degrees of severity in an implant-associated infection model in mice.
Several scores were introduced to diagnose and to classify osteomyelitis in practice. Mouse models are often used to study the pathophysiology of bone infection and to test therapeutic strategies. Aim of the present study was to design a score to diagnose and quantify implant-associated infection in a murine experimental model. ⋯ The proposed score assessing severity of fracture-related infection in an implant-associated murine model was easy to access, feasible to diagnose and estimate bone healing and infection in a murine bone infection with a high sensitivity. Therefore, this score might be a useful tool to quantify infection-related changes after fracture in further future preclinical studies.
