That has been accomplished with the use of the Scopus database and the search slogan "bone grafts," and we inquired for the 50 most-cited articles on bone grafting. The study was completed in September 2020. We investigated the articles issued between 1970 and 2020. The articles were organized and classified based on the total number of citations. We appraised the following information relating to each article: first author, year of publication, journal, and title.A total of 1,580 studies matched our search standards, of which the 50 most-cited extended between 1,862 and 403 citations. Seven articles were cited more than 1,000 times. The article by Marx et al. was the maximum-cited article, with 1,862 citations, followed by Younger et al.'s with 1,461 and Giannoudis et al.'s with 1,245. The majority of the studies originated from the United States (n = 30) and were published in the 2000s. Biomaterials was the most regular destination journal (n = 8), followed by the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American series (n = 7). A maximum of the articles focused on the different types of bone grafts and their alternatives including bone tissue engineering (n=29). Our investigation of the highest 50 articles linking to bone grafting has emphasized the most significant papers in the field. These cover a wide-ranging variety of topics including types, management, and mechanism of action of bone grafts.
