The Knee

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) are critical for knee stability. Injuries to these ligaments, often caused by sports-related activities, can lead to pain, swelling, bruising, and reduced range of motion. They can be classified as sprains or tears and are frequently managed with rest, physiotherapy, or surgical repair.

Knee arthritis is a form of degenerative joint disease causing pain, stiffness, and swelling due to the wearing away of protective cartilage in the knee. It often affects older individuals but can also result from sports injuries or repetitive trauma.

Also known as jumper's knee, jumper's knee is an injury to the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. Common among athletes who frequently jump, this condition causes pain and inflammation in the knee area.

These injuries involve damage to the ligaments (sprain) or muscles and tendons (strain) around the knee, typically caused by a forceful twist or sudden force. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee.

Also known as runner’s knee, is a condition characterized by pain at the front of the knee and around the patella or kneecap. It's commonly seen in runners, jumpers, and other athletes, but can also occur in nonathletes. Overuse, injury, or muscle imbalances can contribute to this condition.
