WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF KNEE PAIN?

Knee pain is not at all uncommon. Many of us experience it for many different reasons. Injury, for instance, can cause knee pain.


 ACL INJURY  The

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) connects your shinbone to your thighbone.

 If

you are an athlete, you are familiar with ACL injuries.


 FRACTURE  The

femur (thigh bone), patella (kneecap), tibia (shine bone), and fibula come together to form your knee.

 Each

of these has the potential to be broken.


 TORN MENISCUS  The

cartilage of the meniscus acts as a shock absorber for the knee.

 This

prevents your femur and tibia from rubbing together.


 PATELLAR TENDINITIS  Tendinitis

is caused by inflammation and irritation of the tendons.

 This

happens to athletes who do a lot of jumping.
