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.
