Knee Injury
Your knee needs to flex and extend to carry out basic activities, imagine not bending your knee when getting up from a chair; we need to bend our legs for tasks such as walking, running, kicking and sitting, without the use of the knee these almost become impossible.
The knee is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid. We have muscles and tendons that help the joint move; if any of these parts are injured or diseased it can cause serious knee problems.
Common injuries associated with the knee joint are:
- Sprains, when one or more ligaments are overstretched, resulting in twisting and wrenching
- Strains, when a tendon/muscle is overstretched
- A torn ligament
- A torn Meniscus
All the problems associated with the knee joint cause pain, swelling and instability. The basis of a knee problem usually occurs if you have had a trip or fall and landed painfully on your knee or a sports accident resulting from quick changes in direction, as seen in football. Knee injuries can also be result of the knee being hit directly from the front, i.e. hitting it on a dashboard in a car accident.
