Abstract
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important concern for female athletes, particularly for those who participate in high-impact sports, as they may be more susceptible to this type of injury. Despite the predominance of ACL injuries in female sports, there remains a lack of awareness and exposure regarding the topic, even after decades of research on the matter. This disparity underscores the need for improved education, preventative strategies, and specialized training programs to address the unique risks faced by women in sports.
