The knee is a complicated joint. It moves like a door hinge, allowing a person to bend and straighten their legs so they can sit, squat, jump, and run. Knee pain can be caused by injuries, mechanical problems, types of arthritis and other problems.

What is your knee is made up of?

The knee is your body’s largest joint and allows you to flex and bend your leg while you walk, run, climb, and perform other movements. A complicated intersection of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage forms your knee and makes those movements possible.

A knee injury can affect any part of your knee. It can damage the ligaments, tendons or cause fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint as well as the bones, cartilage and ligaments that form the joint itself.

Why Knee Injuries Are Complicated

Not all knee pain is serious. But some knee injuries and medical conditions, can lead to increasing pain, joint damage and disability if left untreated. Having a knee injury — even a minor one — makes it more likely to have similar injuries in the future.

Accident Related Knee Injuries

The force generated from a car accident can fracture or dislocate your kneecap, twist and tear your ligaments or cartilage, or cause serious bruising and swelling. Depending on the type of injury, some people may experience excruciating pain immediately after the crash, while others experience symptoms weeks or months later.

Knee injuries are not only painful but can cause major physical challenges, affecting your ability to exercise or even perform everyday tasks, such as running errands and caring for your children. Joint injuries often worsen over time, which can cause long-term debilitation and diminished quality of life.
