Your knee joint is the largest joint in your body and also a very complex one. Because it is very important for your daily activities and you use it a lot, it can get injured and damaged.
Your knee joint is made up of:
3 bones                        | Thigh bone (femur), shinbone (tibia) and knee cap (patella). |
Cartilage    | Thin covering which keeps bones apart and provides a smooth, slippery surface for painless, free movement of your knee. |
4 Ligaments    | Thick rubber-bands like structures that holds the two bones together and provide stability. |
2 Menisci    | C - shaped cushions between the femur and tibia which act as shock absorbers. |
Your knee can get damaged due to accidental fall, twisting, injury while walking, running, playing sports. Arthritis - damage and wear of the cartilage can occur due to Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Previous Injury, Fracture or Dislocation.
Cartilage damage    | Early arthritis, osteonecrosis and injuries may lead to cartilage damage of a limited area leading to pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty in performing daily activities such as walking, standing, sitting for long, climbing stairs and sitting cross legged. |
Meniscal tear    | Results from injury, when one excessively bends the knee as in squatting, or due to twisting. Apart from pain, swelling, stiffness and difficulty in walking, there may be 'locking'. |
Ligament tears    | Sports injuries or accidents may cause ligaments to tear causing instability and 'giving way'. |
