Knee injuries.

Notes: The graph shows the proportion of main injuries of the knee in male and female basketball players. The proportion of ACL injury was the highest, followed by meniscus injury, jumper’s knee (patellar and femoral tendinitis), and Osgood– Schlatter disease. There was a higher proportion of females than males presenting with ACL injury, and there was a higher proportion of males than females presenting with jumper’s knee (patellar and femoral tendinopathy) and Osgood–Schlatter disease. *P<0.05 male vs female (Fisher’s exact test).

Abbreviation: ACL, anterior cruciate ligament.
