What's The Difference Between The Male and Female ACL?

This week, let's touch upon a topic that I get tapped to speak about regularly. With 20 years as the US Women's Alpine Ski Team Head Physician, I'm uniquely positioned to give advice on the unique differences between the male and female ACL.

To sum it up, there are some crucial differences that make diagnosing, treating, and preventing knee injuries in females slightly different than in their male counterparts.

These videos (and more) are also available on my website dedicated to the topic, www.thefemaleacl.com. 

On to the videos. Enjoy!

1. Why do female athletes have more knee injuries?

What steps can women take to help prevent knee (ACL) injuries?
