The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is a connective tissue that stabilizes the knee, and prevents excessive forward movement of the Tibia (shin bone).

• Common in athletes, especially those involved in sports with sudden stops and changes in direction, resulting in a tear of the ACL.

• Some patients may report of “locking” of the knee, being unable to straighten or bend the knee beyond a certain range.

• Depending on the severity of the tear, many patients are able to avoid surgery with the right attention and rehabilitation.

• Injuries to the meniscus, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, causing pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.

• Most patients tend to recall sustaining this injury from twisting their knees.

• Some patients may report of “locking” of the knee, being unable to straighten or bend the knee beyond a certain range.

• A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

• Common complaints includes stiffness in the mornings, and pain that progressively increases through the day.

• AKA Runner’s Knee

  • Pain around or behind the kneecap, often exacerbated by activities like running, squatting, or climbing stairs.

  • This conditions could be present even in non-runners, who would usually display weakness of the lower limb.

• Inflammation of the iliotibial band, causing pain on the outer side of the knee, commonly seen in runners.

• AKA Jumper's Knee

  • Inflammation of the patellar tendon, leading to pain around the kneecap, often seen in athletes involved in jumping sports.

• Weakness and reduced control of your knees in an inwards & outwards direction with movement.

• Patellar Subluxation is the excessive movement of the knee cap, increasing the chances of a dislocation.

• Knock Knees (Genu Varum), is a structural alignment abnormality in which the knees are positioned outward, away from each other, while the ankles remain close together. This condition gives the appearance of a gap between the knees when the feet are together.

• Bow-legged (Genu Valgum), is another structural alignment abnormality, but in this case, the knees angle inward toward each other, causing the ankles to be apart. When standing with the feet together, the knees touch, but there is a noticeable gap between the ankles.
