Knee conditions & procedures
6 treatments
The knee joint is composed of:
- Three bones that connect at the thighbone (femur), the kneecap (patella), and the shinbone (tibia)
- Four major ligaments on either side of your knee that help keep your knee stable (ACL, LCL, MCL, PCL)
- Two menisci that act as shock absorbers
Sports injuries such as ACL tears, meniscus tears and cartilage injuries are commonly treated with surgery and are best managed in a specialized setting where advanced techniques can be chosen according to each patient’s specific needs. Athletes with acute knee injuries need sports medicine care that can help them return to being active as soon as possible. Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques can be used to treat most knee injuries.
What are the Most Common Causes of Knee Pain?
If you injured your knee and noticed immediate sharp pain, a popping sound, or instability of your knee, you could have injured one of the four knee ligaments or injured your meniscus. If you are continuing to experience knee stiffness, knee swelling, popping noises, if you can’t fully extend or flex your knee, or if it is unstable and “gives out” when you walk, contact knee surgeon, Dr. Robin Fuchs. A knee injury that doesn’t heal on it’s own or with conservative at home treatment may require additional treatment.
