Over time, women have become more extensively involved in athletic programs. The female athlete presents a unique challenge to sports medicine in general. Although specific types of injuries are the same as in the male athlete, the female athlete is at higher risk for some of these injuries. Injuries may be sport specific, but gender-related injuries are also related to morphologic and physiologic differences between the male and female athlete. This article reviews some of the differences between the male and female athlete and focuses on a few prominent injuries or risks related specifically to the woman athlete.
