Gymnastics dates back to ancient Greece and remains one of the most popular sports in the modern Olympics.

Additionally, many athletes train and compete during skeletal immaturity that predisposes them to specific injuries. This article briefly reviews some of the more common injuries encountered in the upper limb, axial skeleton, and lower limb in gymnasts with an emphasis on the role of magnetic resonance imaging.
