The risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupture in female athletes is three times higher
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common types of sports injuries. They occur when the ligament that connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia) is torn or ruptured. This injury can occur in any sport that involves pivoting, jumping, or sudden changes of direction. However, research shows that the risk of ACL injury in female athletes is three times higher than in male athletes.
