| Sumario: | The article focuses on the underrepresentation of female athletes in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction literature, despite their higher risk of ACL injuries compared to male athletes. A review of recent peer-reviewed studies revealed that only 39% of subjects in ACL reconstruction research were female, with even lower representation (23%) among competitive athletes. The findings highlight a significant gap in research that fails to account for intrinsic factors, such as anatomical and hormonal differences, and call for increased female representation in sports medicine literature to improve outcomes for female patients. The study emphasizes the need for evidence-based recommendations tailored to female athletes. |
