description Aim: A bibliometric analysis is used to quantitatively analyze scientific production and thematic development in a given research area. We aimed to analyze the 100 most cited articles on Piriformis syndrome (PS). Methods: This observational, descriptive, and retrospective study used a bibliometric technique. Using the word PS the top 100 (T100) most cited articles in the Web of Science between 1975 and 2023 were identified. In the bibliometric analysis, the title, number of authors, author names (first authors and corresponding authors), year and country of publication, number of citations, citation index, genre, subject, Q classification, h-index, impact factor, and publication area were recorded. Results: The total number of citations in the T100 article list ranged from 7 to 202. Most T100 articles were published between 2001 and 2005 (n=22). The country that produced the most articles was the United States, and the most cited author was Fishman. Clinical studies accounted for the majority of the top 100 articles (n=44). The majority of the T100 articles (n=93) were published in journals with expanded science citation indexes, and the most common field of publication was orthopedics (n=29). The altimetric attention score for the articles ranged from 1 to 435. The altimetric attention score was not available for 54 articles. Conclusion: The results of this study provide insight into the level of attention that the scientific community and social media platforms pay to the most cited articles in PS. Further research using larger databases to examine interactions across countries is needed.
