WHAT IS A KNEE JOINT?

The knee is a complex joint made up of three bones in a flexible joint formation: the patella (kneecap), the end of the femur (thigh bone), and the top of the tibia (shin bone). These bones are joined with each other forming the three 'compartments' of the knee.

WHAT ARE THE COMMONEST CAUSES OF KNEE PAIN?

An immense number of disorders and injuries can damage the knee to the point where it becomes painful or will not function properly.

Although an immense number of disorders can be the root of knee pain, the following are the most crucial ones: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis

• RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: This is a disorder in which the synovial membrane that is around the joint becomes inflamed and thickened. This chronic inflammation can damage the cartilage and bone leading to pain and deformities.
• POST-TRAUMATIC ARTHRITIS: This is caused by major injury or fractures of the bones surrounding the knee or tears of the knee.

The joint cartilage gets sabotaged in an arthritic knee and the simply protected perpetual in the bone gets exposed giving rise to severe pain.
