flag Men aged 20–40 have higher knee injury rates than women, study finds, challenging prior assumptions.

flag A large MRI study of 13,549 knee scans (2019–2024) reveals men aged 20–40 have higher rates of ACL, meniscal, and MCL tears than women, contradicting prior assumptions that young women are at greater risk. flag Older women showed more meniscal and MCL injuries, suggesting increased joint degeneration with age. flag Researchers attribute the findings to broader inclusion of all knee pain cases, not just sports injuries. flag The results, presented at the Radiological Society of North America’s 2025 meeting, highlight the need for gender-specific risk assessments and preventive strategies, including strength training for women over 40 and targeted conditioning for men.
