Key Points

To identify and characterize the 50 most cited English-language articles addressing the diagnosis, classification, and surgical management of thoracolumbar junction injuries.
Queried the Web of Science database for keywords related to thoracolumbar junction surgery.
Screened candidate publications by title, abstract, and methodology, ranking them by total citation volume to identify the top 50 articles.
The United States, Thomas Jefferson University, and A.R. Vaccaro were identified as the most prolific country, institution, and investigator, respectively, with peak publication frequency occurring in the 2000s.
An evaluation of early hardware failure in short-segment transpedicular systems by McLain et al. accrued the highest total citations, while work by Laursen et al. on recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 combined with metal fixation achieved the highest average citation rate.
A majority of the top-cited papers were characterized as randomized studies providing level II clinical evidence.
