Knee Arthritis
Cartilage is the smooth, rubbery tissue that covers the ends of your bones and helps them move smoothly. Arthritis is a general term covering numerous conditions where this cartilage wears out. When the articular cartilage wears out, the bone ends rub on one another and cause pain. Knee arthritis is a condition that damages the cartilage in your knee joint.
Knee Fracture Treatment
A knee fracture is a break in the bone of your knee. Your knee has three bones: the thighbone (femur), shinbone (tibia), and kneecap (patella), and a fracture can occur in any of these bones. In younger individuals, these fractures are caused by high-energy injuries, such as a motor vehicle accident or a sports injury. In older people, the most common cause is weak and fragile bones.
Soft Tissue Knee Injury
Soft tissue injuries to the knee are extremely common, especially in athletes. The knee is a complex joint, and it is supported by several ligaments and tendons. These structures can be damaged by a sudden impact or by overuse. Common soft tissue injuries to the knee include meniscal tears and ligament injuries.
