Knee Injuries

	Knee Injuries Knee injuries are extremely common. Those injuries that are the result of just a bruise or a fall usually resolve on their own relatively quickly. Knee injuries that involve a pivoting or twisting, when the patient hears a pop or suffers immediate swelling, almost always involves tearing of important tissue inside the knee which leads to bleeding, swelling, and subsequent instability or pain. Many knee injuries, however, involve chronic overuse, such as kneeling on the knee frequently, and may lead to tendonitis or inflammation of the soft tissues about the knee. Other soft tissue injuries, such as tearing of the meniscus cartilage or the ACL or PCL, are best diagnosed with a physical examination, history, x-ray, and MRI. When the important structures of the knee are torn, early surgical repair usually leads to the best outcome. To self-diagnose your knee injury, click here.
