Knee injury guide
The knee is one of the most important and complex joints in the human body, acting as a critical link between the thigh and the leg. It is formed mainly by the interaction between three bones: the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (leg bone) and the patella (kneecap). This joint allows fundamental movements such as flexion and extension, and is essential for activities such as walking, running, jumping and squatting. The structure of the knee is reinforced by ligaments, tendons, menisci and cartilage which provide stability and cushion impacts.
Knee health is essential for maintaining mobility and carrying out daily activities without pain or discomfort. Preventing injuries and maintaining knee health involves regular strengthening and stretching exercises, maintaining a healthy weight and adopting correct techniques during physical activities.
Knee Injuries: Common Pathologies
Knee injuries are common, especially in athletes and people with active lifestyles. The most frequent knee injuries include sprains and ruptures of ligaments such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), meniscal injuries and patellar tendonitis. These injuries can be caused by sudden movements, direct impacts or overuse. Preventing knee and leg injuries involves keeping fit, wearing appropriate footwear and avoiding overload in physical activities. In the event of injury or persistent discomfort in the knee, it is important to seek medical advice for an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan aimed at effective recovery and prevention of future complications.
