    Knee pain is quite common and can be debilitating. It can limit your routine activities due to impaired knee mobility. It requires prompt management to prevent any permanent disability. 

    Venice physical medicine & rehabilitation Center comprises a team of experts who specialize in advanced diagnosis and effective treatments for your knee pain. 

    Knee anatomy 

    The knee is the largest joint in your body composed of the: 

    • Bones (thighbone, shin bone, knee cap)
    • Ligaments (cruciate, and collateral)
    • Cartilage (articular and meniscal)
    • Tendons

    The knees act as a hinge joint that facilitates movements, like flexion and extension. They help support your legs during activities like walking, running, jumping, and so on. 

    Underlying elements for knee pain

    Knee pain can be a common manifestation of an underlying cause. Any damage to the structures within the knee joint can cause pain. 

    Some common causes include:

    Fractures

    Falls, automobile accidents, and collisions can lead to bone fractures, which cause severe knee pain.

    ACL injuries

    The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) runs diagonally to the knee joint, which provides stability. ACL injuries are common among athletes involved in contact sports due to overstretching of the ligament. Sudden stops and twisting of your knee can damage the ligament, causing knee pain.

    Torn meniscus 

    The menisci are fragments of rubbery cartilage present between the thigh bone and the shin bone that acts as a cushion. Forceful pivoting and rotating of the knee cause excruciating knee pain. 

    Other possible causes include:

    • Arthritis
    • Bursitis
    • Dislocation
    • Tendinitis
    • Baker’s cyst
    • Iliotibial band syndrome 

    Clinical presentation of knee pain

    Knee pain can be associated with the following clinical manifestations: 

    • Swelling of the knee
    • Warmth and tenderness
    • Skin discoloration
    • Inability to bend (flex) or straighten (extend) your knee 
    • Difficulty standing and walking 

    Diagnostic criteria and guidelines for knee pain

    A thorough evaluation is necessary for an accurate determination. The  following information is crucial to reach a diagnosis:

    • Patient characteristics like obesity
    • Patient complaints about mobility restriction
    • Medical history to rule out other medical conditions and past injuries or surgeries
    • Results of a physical examination to check for signs of knee damage
    • Results of imaging tests such as X-rays and MRIs to identify structural damage. There could be additional tests required, like electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS). 

    Therapeutic approach to knee pain

    Treatment options depend on the severity of knee pain.

    Conservative approach 

    • Rest
    • Leg elevation
    • Ice packs
    • Compression
    • Medications like NSAIDs
    • Physical therapy 
    • A splint or knee brace.

    Noninvasive methods

    • Steroid injections
    • Regenerative medicine like PRP therapy 

    Minimally invasive procedures

    Recommended when other treatments fail, especially for severe injuries. These include:

    • Arthroscopy
    • Arthroplasty 

    Knee pain is common, but it shouldn’t be ignored. Early detection and treatment is crucial to prevent any permanent disability.
