Summary

Dance-related craniofacial injuries disproportionately affect females, with the head and face being most vulnerable. Prevention strategies are crucial to mitigate these common, yet understudied, dance injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Craniofacial injuries in dance are understudied despite the art form's physical demands and global reach.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of these injuries is essential for developing targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the epidemiology of dance-related craniofacial trauma using a decade of emergency department data.
  • To identify high-risk demographics and injury patterns in dancers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) data from 2014-2023.
  • Inclusion of 81,571 dance-related injuries to identify craniofacial trauma cases.

Main Results:

  • Females accounted for 69.9% of injuries and had 2.32 times the injury rate of males.
  • The head (52.8%) and face (30.9%) were most frequently injured, with lacerations and concussions predominating.
  • A dip in injuries during COVID-19 was followed by a rebound, especially in females.

Conclusions:

  • Craniofacial injuries represent a significant portion (15%) of dance-related emergency department visits.
  • Targeted prevention strategies, including improved training and protective measures, are needed for dancers.
  • This study provides a foundation for reducing preventable craniofacial trauma in dance settings.
