Does sex and sport classification affect the risk of ACL injury in athletes?
Female athletes face a higher risk of ACL injuries in contact and fixed-object HIRL sports compared to male athletes.
ACL prevention should prioritize fixed-object HIRL sports, especially females; extends sport- and sex-specific incidence data for targeted trials.
Fixed-object HIRL sports had the highest IRs of ACL injury for both sexes. Female athletes were at greater risk of ACL injury than male athletes in contact and fixed-object HIRL sports.
