Bone fractures and treatments
Bone fractures and treatments is a research topic within Epidemiology. Science Explorer counts 53k research works in it since 1950. 9.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers covers the epidemiology, classification, treatment, and complications of bone fractures, with a focus on fracture healing, internal fixation techniques, nonunion, infection prevention, biomechanics, pediatric fractures, and soft tissue management. It provides insights into the molecular, spatial, and temporal aspects of fracture healing and the impact of factors such as smoking and inflammation. The cluster also explores limb reconstruction techniques and the economic burden associated with nonunions.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
Shares of the rows listed above, not of the whole node.
