A Call for Clarification on the Novelty of a Bibliometric Analysis of AC Joint Injury

This letter raises concerns regarding the novelty and significance of the ۲۰۲۵ study by Basralian et al.۱ published in Archives of Bone and Joint Surgery due to considerable overlap with a previously published ۲۰۲۴ study by Kilkenny et al.۲ in Journal of Orthopaedics. Both works share notable overlap in study scope, design, methodology, results presentation, and conclusions. While certain differences exist, the degree of similarity raises questions about the originality and added value of the Basralian et al.۱ study to the existing literature. We respectfully request the authors provide clarification on the unique contributions of their manuscript.
