DETERMINING THE ANATOMICAL LOCATIONS OF POSSIBLE INJURIES FOR PROFESSIONAL BALLET DANCERS

Abstract

Classical ballet is a popular type of dance with high physical demands requiring intensive practice with eventual overuse injuries in dancers. This case report describes a 20-year-oldballet student who referred to the orthopedic clinic with severe pain on right hip and knee. The clinical and MRI examination revealed bone marrow edema syndrome. The main reason for bone marrow edema is injury in hip while performing the "rond de jambe en l’air" movement three years ago.The case stated that she felt intense pain during hip abduction while movement was realized. After12-weeks of supportive exercises, the pain score decreased from 8 to 3 points. In the literature, there is no bone marrow edema case with the etiology of ballet movement. In this report, the importance of determining the anatomical location of the injury is emphasized so that correct exercises to support the muscles and joints of the determined anatomic structures can be planned to reduce the complaints without any steroid and surgical treatment. This study will contribute to awareness of preventing possible injuries during ballet training and to understand the importance of medical follow-up of individual development in ballet students.
