Our Smart article, Females have more Knee Pathology than Males, tells how much more knee pathology females have (twice the osteoarthritis and 4 times more likely to be injured playing sports) and some of the reasons why.
This article also gives some female injury statistics but also discusses how the feet affect the knees. As so many of our articles deal with how the feet determine what occurs on up the leg, this podiatrist confirms how much “the foot bone is connected to the knee bone……” One interesting thing he says is that he has not seen a female suffer an ACL injury while wearing orthotics. Dr. Weil sees many, many athletes so that is a pretty impressive phenomenon.
