Geriatric trauma is a critical area of research owing to the increasing elderly population and the unique challenges associated with their injuries. This study aimed to explore the intellectual structure, growth, spatial analysis, seminal publications, most frequent keywords, trending topics, conceptual structure, and thematic evolution of geriatric trauma research (GTR).A comprehensive analysis was conducted using VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands) and Biblioshiny (K-Synth Srl, University of Naples Federico II, Italy) to examine a corpus of scholarly publications (N = 682) related to GTR (2004-2024). Bibliographic data were collected from the Scopus database and analyzed to highlight the key findings and trends.The analysis revealed the leading contributors to GTR. Over the years, there has been an increased interest in geriatric trauma, as demonstrated by the increasing trend in research publications. Collaboration patterns among nations were determined through spatial analysis, and insights into significant topics and their influence were offered by influential publications. Keywords used frequently as well as current issues formed part of this study's findings, which give insight into what was most focused on within the GTR. Themes and their development over time were made explicit by revealing their conceptual structures and thematic evolutions.GTR has increased significantly. Interdisciplinary approaches are suggested for future research. Furthermore, gaps need to be addressed using technological advancements that will help improve geriatric trauma management and lead to better patient outcomes.
