The increase in the horizontal distance between acetabulums (The acetabulum is cavity on the OS coxae that articulates with the femur to form the hip joint) that results from the wider hips in most women, increases a woman's chance of developing knee injuries when pursuing athletic endeavors.
This is because the angle of convergence (the formed angle between the right and left femura) at the knees in greater females than males, causes an uneven weight distribution at the knee joint, which causes uneven wear on the meniscus. Resulting an increase in injuries.
