The knee is one of the most complex and heavily used joints in the body, making it vulnerable to injuries and degenerative conditions. Knee disorders can result from trauma, overuse, aging, or medical conditions, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
🦵 Ligament Tears (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL)
Ligaments provide stability to the knee. Injuries like an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear often occur in sports involving sudden stops or changes in direction. PCL, MCL, and LCL tears can result from direct impact or twisting movements, causing instability and pain.
🦵 Meniscus Tears
The meniscus is a cartilage cushion that absorbs shock in the knee. A tear can occur due to sudden twisting motions or wear and tear, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.
🦵 Knee Fractures
A fracture of the kneecap (patella) or other knee bones often results from direct trauma, such as falls or accidents. This can cause severe pain, swelling, and difficulty bending the knee.
🦵 Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a wear-and-tear condition that leads to cartilage breakdown, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that inflames the joints, leading to chronic pain and deformity.
🦵 Tendinitis
Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, commonly seen in athletes, results from overuse and repetitive strain, causing pain and tenderness.
🦵 Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sacs in the knee) leads to swelling and discomfort, often caused by prolonged kneeling, repetitive movements, or direct trauma.
✅ Non-Surgical Treatments: Physical therapy, medications, braces, and injections for pain management
✅ Minimally Invasive Procedures: Arthroscopy for meniscus or ligament repairs
✅ Surgical Interventions: Knee replacement or reconstruction for severe cases
