Purpose:
This study aimed to explore the bibliometric characteristics of pediatric fracture research from its inception until 2024, specifically focusing on high-cited publications (HCPs) defined as those with 100 or more citations. Key indicators evaluated include publication frequency, citation counts, and collaboration metrics.
Methodology:
The Scopus database was utilized to identify global publications related to pediatric fractures. The top HCPs were retrieved for detailed analysis, employing bibliometric and network analyses with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software to uncover key contributors, including organizations, authors, and journals, along with their collaborative interactions and significant keyword co-occurrences.
Results:
262 HCPs in pediatric fracture research were identified and indexed in Scopus from 1929 to 2024 (95 years), accumulating a cumulative citation count of 42,675 and an average of 162.9 citations per publication. This body of work involved 931 authors from 160 organizations across 31 countries, with external funding at 9.16% and international collaboration at 7.25%. The United States of America was the leading contributor with 145 publications (55.34%), followed by the United Kingdom (11.83%) and Canada (11.45%). The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia emerged as the most productive organization, while the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics published the highest number of HCPs (n = 59). The journal 'Bone' exhibited the highest citation impact per paper, averaging 271.33 citations.
Conclusion:
This study elucidates research trends and influential contributions in pediatric fracture research, offering valuable insights into past, present, and future research priorities in this domain.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
