About Knee Problem

Knee problems encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the knee joint, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bones, often requiring orthopedic evaluation and management. Common issues include osteoarthritis, ligament tears (like ACL or MCL), meniscus injuries, patellar disorders, and fractures. Orthopedic specialists diagnose knee problems through physical exams, imaging (X-rays, MRI), and patient history. Treatment is tailored to the specific diagnosis and severity, ranging from conservative approaches like physical therapy, medications, and injections to advanced surgical interventions such as arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, or partial/total knee replacement. The goal is to relieve pain, restore function, improve mobility, and enhance the patient's quality of life through personalized care plans.
