What are the most common knee injuries and what part is often affected?
- gfeckle
Knee Sprains - the ligaments----ACL tears are actually very common esp. in sports requiring cutting, quick stops, and turns such as football, soccer, and basketball
Patella instability/kneecap problems are common and can range from dislocations (more common in female athletes) to just kneecap pain sometimes called Runner's Knee.
Patella Tendinitis is a very common overuse injury. It is a result of an inflamed patella tendon.
A torn meniscus is very common, too. Your meniscus is a disk of c-shaped cartilage in your knee between your femur and tibia that acts as a shock absorber and cushion. Tears happen with less of a significant injury/ more easily in older people as the meniscus wears down. Athletes also can get tears due to knee twists etc.
Good Luck :)
