Article Abstract
Objective: Despite the abundance of research on the biomechanics of scoliosis, there is a lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. This study utilizes bibliometric methods to elucidate the research trends and hotspots within this domain.
Methods: The data for this study were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection and then analyzed using the open-source Bibliometrix R package and Citespace.
Results: The analysis encompassed 410 publications published from 1999 to 2023. There is a sustained increase in the number of publications within the field. Utilizing citation analysis and keyword analysis, the study identified key research focuses. Burst keyword analysis identified 19 keywords.
Conclusions: The period from 1999 to 2023 has witnessed significant research attention on the biomechanics of scoliosis. The demographic shift towards an aging population has recently increased interest in ASD. Proximal biomechanical changes and transitional zones in PJK and PJF are hotspots in research, offering emerging scholars in this discipline valuable opportunities for exploration.

(1) Background: External force orthopedics and the strengthening of paraspinal muscles through exercise are common orthopedic methods for adolescent scoliosis, yet the synergetic mechanism of the two in orthopedic correction remains unclear. (2) Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model of the scoliotic spine was established to accurately simulate the mechanical properties of tissues such as the spine, intervertebral discs, and ribs. By applying external forces in different directions to the scoliosis model, the orthopedic effects of these forces on scoliosis were analyzed.

Idiopathic scoliosis is a postural deformity of the spine that not only changes the shape of the spine but may also alter postural control and muscle strength. Although this deformity is more common in some sports, it is not known whether the scoliosis athlete's balance and strength are altered. Balance and strength are essential to perform complex technical movements and prevent injuries.

Background: Effects of rigid posterior instrumentation on the three-dimensional post-operative spinal flexibility are widely unknown. Purpose of this in vitro study was to quantify these effects for characteristic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis instrumentations.
Methods: Six fresh frozen human thoracic and lumbar spine specimens (C7-S) with entire rib cage from young adult donors (26-45 years) without clinically relevant deformity were loaded quasi-statically with pure moments of 5 Nm in flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation.

Scoliosis instrumentation length depends on the type and degree of deformity and the individual preference of the surgeon. This in vitro study aimed to explore effects of increasing instrumentation length on adjacent segment mobility and intervertebral disc loading. Six fresh frozen human spine specimens (C7-sacrum) with entire rib cage from young adult donors (26-45 years) were loaded with pure moments of 5 Nm.

Background: Millions of people worldwide suffer from back pain and muscle weakness due to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It has been found that Schroth exercises (SE) are the most effective treatment for AIS. However, it is still not clear how combining SE with asymmetric spinal stabilization exercises (ASSE) can impact back pain and trunk extensor muscle endurance (TE).
