Osteoarthritis

This is the most prevalent knee condition. It involves the degeneration of the joint's cartilage over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Knee Ligament Injuries

Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), or lateral collateral ligament (LCL) can occur due to sudden twisting, impact, or sports-related activities.

Meniscus Tears

The menisci are C-shaped cartilage pads that act as shock absorbers in the knee joint. Tears can result from twisting or sudden movements.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee)

This is characterized by pain around or behind the patella (kneecap), often caused by improper tracking of the patella in the femoral groove.

Bursitis

Inflammation of the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs) around the knee joint, often caused by repetitive kneeling or overuse.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Inflammation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of tissue running along the outside of the thigh from the hip to the shin. It can cause pain on the outer side of the knee.

Knee Fractures

Fractures of the patella, femur, or tibia can occur due to trauma or falls.

Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper's Knee)

Inflammation of the patellar tendon, which connects the patella to the shinbone, often due to overuse or repetitive jumping.

Baker's Cyst

Also known as a popliteal cyst, this is a fluid-filled swelling that forms behind the knee due to excess joint fluid.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease

A condition primarily affecting adolescents and young athletes, characterized by inflammation of the patellar tendon insertion on the tibial tuberosity.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune condition that can affect the knee joint, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.
