You are the best family anyone could ever have. Elinor Mody, MD To all the special women in my life – you know who you are! To my mother, sisters, friends, and my three beautiful, intelligent, and athletic daughters – Abigail, Samantha, and Emily. Lastly, to my husband, who supports me in all that I do. Elizabeth Matzkin, MS, MD Pref ace It has been 40 years since Title IX was passed, giving females equal opportunities for sports participation at federally funded programs. The number of women participating in sports has skyrocketed ever since. As more women participate in sports and lead active lifestyles, we need to under- stand that they cannot train and be treated the same as men. Females are at higher risk for several medical problems compared to their male counterparts. We need to identify these risks, treat them, and, more importantly, learn how to prevent them. Taking care of the female athlete or women’s musculoskeletal problems requires a multidisciplinary understanding of the issues. Women’s musculoskeletal health is an emerging body of knowledge, and it is important for health-care providers to understand this and be well versed in this area. Musculoskeletal diseases are the leading cause of disability in the United States. Health-care costs are rising at an alarming trajectory. We need to educate ourselves to prevent potential musculoskeletal problems before they arise. If we can educate young active women to optimize their bone health, imagine how many insuffi ciency fractures we can prevent when they are older! The collaboration of numerous health-care providers from different specialties presenting and covering different topics pertaining to women’s musculoskeletal health in this book is just a beginning. We hope this book opens many doors to pur- sue better diagnostic, treatment, and prevention strategies for us all in the future.
