Knee injury is one of the most common reasons people see their doctors. Your knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. Many knee injuries can be successfully treated with simple measures, such as bracing and rehabilitation exercises.
The knee is the largest joint in the body. It is subject to a wide variety of traumatic, mechanical and inflammatory disorders. The leading injuries to the knee in both adults and children alike are primarily ligament strains and tears, including the patellar ligament as well as supporting ligaments around the joint.
