The articles were categorized according to research focuses for a comparative analysis between those published in Chinese <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> English, and further grouped according to publication date (before and after 2014).

A total of 4937 articles focused on the top 10 research topics, with the top 3 being stem cells (32.1%), tissue\u2010engineered scaffold (22.8%), and molecular mechanisms (16.4%). Differences between the numbers of Chinese and English papers were observed for 3 topics: chondrocyte implantation (104 <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 316), osteochondral allograft (27 <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 86), and microfracture (127 <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic> 293). The following topics gained more research interest in the second 5\u2010year time span compared with the first: microfracture, osteochondral allograft, osteochondral autograft, stem cells, and tissue\u2010engineered scaffold. Articles with a focus on three\u2010dimensional\u2010printing technology have shown the fastest increase in publication numbers. Among 5613 research articles, basic research studies accounted for the majority (4429), with clinical studies described in only 1184 articles. The top 7 research topics of clinical studies were: chondrocyte implantation (28.7%), stem cells (21.9%), microfracture (19.2%), tissue scaffold (10.6%), osteochondral autograft (10.5%), osteochondral allograft (6.3%), and periosteal transplantation (2.8%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Studies focused on stem cells and tissue\u2010engineered scaffolds led the field of damaged articular cartilage repair.
