The knee is the joint between the thigh and the leg and consists of two individual joints: one between the femur and the tibia and one between the femur and the kneecap. It is the largest joint in the human body. Although its movements are complex, it mainly allows the bending and extension of the leg.
Patellar chondropathy is a common painful knee condition that primarily affects the cartilage of the patella.
Physiotherapy program of strengthening exercises for weak muscle groups and with Manual Therapy movements.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint damage.
Pain in front of the kneecap, in the medial medial space, back in the popliteal fossa and sometimes in the calves, stiffness in the joint, difficulty in walking and limitation of range of motion.
Knee pain, swelling (swelling – hemarthrosis – hydroarthrosis), tenderness when palpating the meniscus, lack of knee extension, “blocking” of the knee joint in flexion.
The most common mechanism for tearing the medial collateral ligament is direct boring from the outside of the knee.
Anarthrosis (collection of blood in the knee joint), knee involvement (inability to fully extend or bend the knee), if there is a meniscal tear or osteochondral damage, possible feeling of insecurity or even episodes of knee instability.
Treatment is usually either conservative, and depends on the extent of the tear and whether there are accompanying ligamentous or other coexisting injuries.
An ACL tear occurs when an injury to the knee tends to displace the tibia backward, with more force than the ligament can absorb.
Pain and gout (collection of blood in the knee joint), knee involvement (inability to fully extend or bend the knee), if there is a meniscal tear or osteochondral damage, possible feeling of insecurity or even episodes of knee instability.
Treatment can be either conservative or surgical. The choice depends mainly on the degree of rupture, the patient’s activity level.
This tear can occur, either in the middle of the ligament, or detached from the thigh or tibia.
Pain and swelling in the knee. Patients often report that during the injury, they heard a “crack” in the knee.
Depending on the degree of the tear, the patient’s age, his functional requirements, etc., a physiotherapy plan is decided.
