Common sports injuries include bone stress injuries (BSI), anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACL), and concussions. Less commonly recognized are the specific sex differences in epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of these conditions by sex. An understanding of these factors can improve their clinical management, from prescribing appropriate prehabilitation to guiding post injury rehabilitation and return to play. This narrative review summarizes the sex differences in the diagnosis and management of BSI, ACL injuries, and concussions.
