The knee joint is one of the most complex and heavily used joints in the body, making it highly vulnerable to injuries — especially in athletes, active individuals, and older adults. Whether from sudden trauma or overuse, knee injuries can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life.
Some of the Most Common Knee Injuries Include:
-
Ligament tears (ACL, MCL, PCL): Often caused by twisting or impact during sports.
-
Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee, usually from sudden turning or lifting.
-
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons due to overuse or repetitive strain.
-
Fractures: Breaks in the bones around the knee, typically from falls or accidents.
-
Dislocations: When the bones in the knee are forced out of alignment.
-
Bursitis: Swelling of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee joint.
