Overview

Bibliometric analysis assesses trends in growth plate injuries and bone health in young dancers, indicating a need for more diverse research.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the volume and scope of research on growth plate injuries and skeletal maturity in young dancers.
  • Conducted a bibliometric review on the WoSCore Collection of articles from 1973 to 2026.
  • Filtered results using keywords related to dance, growth plate, physis, and skeletal maturity.
  • Utilized tools like Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer for graphical analysis and keyword mapping.
  • An increasing body of literature on the topic has developed since the early 2000s, particularly after 2010.
  • Most research is from the United States, with limited publications from Europe and Australia.
  • Key themes include physeal injury mechanisms and training load effects on bone health, with few studies beyond classical ballet.
