Abstract
|
|
|
|
A gender disparity exists in the prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Females are more likely to injure their anterior cruciate ligaments than males. The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in females is expected to increase as the participation of females in sports increase. To gain a better understanding of this gender disparity, we reviewed the literature for any difference in risk factors for injury of the anterior cruciate ligaments towards either males or females. A greater understanding of risk factors for anterior cruciate ligaments will help formulate prevention programs against injuries and also predict those who are in high-risk groups.
