Knee issues can affect mobility and quality of life. Understanding common knee conditions helps in early diagnosis and better management of pain and discomfort.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease caused by wear and tear. It leads to pain, stiffness, and limited movement in the knee, especially in older adults.
ACL injuries are common in athletes and occur during activities that involve sudden stops or changes in direction. These injuries often require surgery for complete recovery.
Meniscus tears occur when the knee is twisted or rotated. They cause swelling, pain, and difficulty moving the knee. Treatment may include physical therapy or surgery.
