PURPOSE: This review provides guidance and ideas for researchers through a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the present state, trends, and hotspots in the epiphyseal injury literature in the last 2 decades. METHODS: We searched the Web of Science core database to explore the epiphyseal injury literature from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2022. (1) Search parameters: #1.TS = "epiphysis" or "epiphyseal" or "growth plate"; #2.TS = "injury" or "trauma". (2) Document types: "Article" and "Review"; (3) Time: January 1, 2003-December 31, 2022; (4) Languages: "English". We used Citespace 6.2.R3 software to explore the country/region distribution, institutions, journals, keyword analysis, and co-cited references of the literature. RESULTS: A total of 2138 relevant literature were obtained, with the number of publications increasing annually. The country with the highest number of publications is the United States. The highest-producing institution was Harvard University. The most cited journal was the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume. The first tag for keyword clustering was the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Keyword bursts were found in the recent attention to the words: outcome, physeal fractures, risk factors, fixation, risk, transplantation, and osteoarthritis. The analysis of the literature co-citation found that the topic of ACL and regeneration of epiphysis is a trend in research and high-quality literature in this field. CONCLUSIONS: We can quick...
