The article discusses a study that describes and compares differences between males and females in pediatric sports-related injuries. Data was collated and studied on age, sex, height, weight, injury type, location of injury, and sports involvement. It is said that male patients had a higher percentage of injuries to the upper extremity compared with female patients. It is noted that more study is needed to further understand the injury risk in pediatric male and female athletes.
