In neck to neck competition are women more fragile?
Clinical Orthopaedics and related Research 2000 March
Recent studies indicate numerous differences between female and male athletes regarding injuries of the upper and lower extremities. Studies have been much less clear concerning a gender differential regarding injuries of the cervical spine. For the purposes of the current review, injuries have been divided into three categories. The first category is cervical strain injury. It has been reported that strain injuries are more prevalent in female athletes than male athletes. The second category is cervical disc injury and cervical disc herniation. It has been reported that the male to female incidence is approximately equal in this category. In the third category, which is referred to as major structural injury, studies to date have almost entirely reported on injuries in males showing a significant male preponderance. With increasing participation of women in contact sports that cause major structural injury, a greater incidence of these injuries may be seen in women.
