Ligament Injuries

• Ligament injuries happen because of a tear in one
  of the four ligaments in our knee. There are four
  types of ligament injuries. Such as ACL, PCL,
  MCL, and LCL.
• ACL(Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Injury- ACL is
  one of the significant ligament injuries. It
  occurs due to sudden direction changes, abrupt
  stops, and improper landing after a jump. ACL is
  common for people who play sports like football,
  hockey, and soccer.
• PCL(Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Injury- PCL is
  one of the most vital ligaments. PCL injuries
  occur due to a direct blow to the bent knee, and
  PCL injuries occur because of a car accident or
  falling on our knees.

• MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) Injury- MCL is
  one of the cruciate ligaments that keep our knee
  joint stable. MCL injuries occur because of a
  direct blow to the outside of our knee during
  playing sports or in an accident.
• LCL(Lateral Collateral Ligament) Injury- LCL is
  a thin band of tissue that runs up the inside of
  our knee. LCL injuries happen because of a blow
  to the inside of our knee, which occur during
  sports, accidents, and falls.

2. Arthritis

• Arthritis is one of the chronic knee conditions
  that causes inflammation, stiffness, and immense
  pain in our knee joints. Arthritis will
  eventually worsen with time if you fail to get
  proper, timely treatment.

3. Osteoarthritis

• Osteoarthritis is one of the most severe types of
  arthritis. It deteriorates our cartilage, a
  spongy material that works as a cushion between
  our knee bones. Deterioration of cartilage
  results in abrasion between our knee bones that
  causes immense pain. The main reasons behind
  osteoarthritis are past injury, weight, age, and
  genetics.

4. Gout

• Gout is also one of the different types of
  arthritis, which eventuate due to the build-up of
  uric acid crystals in our joints. Gout
  significantly affects our knee, hip, fingers, and
  toe and causes severe pain.

5. Meniscus Tear

• A meniscus tear occurs in our knee cartilage.
  Cartilage is a semi-hard rubbery substance that
  acts as a cushion between our shinbone and
  thighbone. The main reason behind meniscus tear
  is a sudden twist or turn that causes our
  cartilage to tear. Meniscus tear usually happens
  because of sports or workout activities.

6. Tendinitis

• Tendinitis causes knee pain because of the
  tendons' inflammation that connects bone and
  muscle. Inflammation of the tendon happens due to
  excessive use of a tendon. Tendinitis befalls
  while doing different activities like running,
  jumping, climbing, or cycling.

7. Fractures and Dislocations

• Fractures and dislocations are the most common
  cause of knee pain. It betides due to direct blow
  to our knee bones, that damage our knee cap
  resulted in breaking or dislocating knee bone.
  Fractures or dislocations happen because of
  falls, sports, or accidents.
