Abstract

In brief Medical concerns for female gymnasts vary from medical problems such as nutrient deficiencies to orthopedic concerns such as wrist injuries. Physicians who treat gymnasts-from recreational to elite-must be aware of the most common problems. They can then expand their role in educating athletes about prevention and in treating sports-specific injuries and associated diseases.
