This study analysed injury epidemiology and return to sport outcomes in Division I male and female collegiate basketball players. The authors hypothesise that ankle injuries are amongst the most common in this population and that there are similarly comparable injury rates between genders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review of a de\u2010identified conference\u2010specific injury database for male and female Division I collegiate basketball players from 2017 to 2021 was conducted. Injuries were stratified by anatomic location, gender, time missed from practice\/competition, and diagnosis.
