Knee injury

Knee injury overview

Knee injuries can involve damage to the ligaments and cartilage along with damage to the bone. Knee ligaments can be partially or completely torn. This type of knee injury is often caused in accidents where twisting forces are applied. Knee injuries involving the bone are usually breaks to the patella, or knee cap. Although this can also be a break to the connecting areas of the femur or tibia.

Knee injury repair

Knee injury repair will involve physiotherapy and potentially surgical procedures. Physiotherapy after knee injury aims to build up the strength of the muscles and ligaments to ensure that the knee can function effectively. Surgery after knee injury may be required to join damaged tendons or ligaments.
