Objective: To analyze the global research status of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR). Methods: The Wed of Science Core Collection database was used to retrieve literature on CSR from 1994 to 2021. Retrieval data were statistically analyzed by bibliometrics method and two bibliometric tools were used to conduct visualization and knowledge maps,including the bibliometrics online site and VOSviewer software. Annual trends of publications, contributions of countries, institutions, authors and journals, and clustering of keywords were analyzed. Results: A total of 2748 publications were included. The number of annual publications has shown an increasing trend worldwide. The United States has made the greatest contribution, with the largest number of publications and the highest H-index. China ranked second in the number of?publications, but its H-index was relatively low. The most prolfic institutions was university of Pennsylvania, and Professors Winkelstein BA、Olmarker K and Kikuchi S have made great achievements in this field. However, the collaboration between international institutions or researchers was relatively low. Publications in Spine, World Neurosurgery and European Spine Journal ranked top three in terms of journals. Among them, Spine not only published the largest number of articles, but also had a far higher H-index than other journals. Through the analysis of hotspots, it was found that diffusion tensor imaging, anterior discectomy and prognosis score may be the current research hotspots. ? Conclusions:There will be an increasing number of publications on cervical spondylotic radiculopathy research, and the United States stay ahead in this ?eld. International collaboration needs to be further strengthened.
