"I think there are many factors that cause female athletes to tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) more than males, and many of them will likely interplay together to be the actual reason why females are more at risk."

Topic: Studying the sex differences between male and female ACL injuries.

Potential Patient Care Application of Results: Training for female athletes that teaches them how to jump and land in a way that protects their knees and prevents injury.
