  such as physiotherapy and other associated
  modalities may rectify the issue.

Major causes of knee injuries

1. Injuries of the knee ligaments
2. Tears in the knee cartilage
3. Arthritis of the Knee

1. Injuries of the knee ligaments

• These injuries can occur to the anterior cruciate
  ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
  and medial or lateral collateral ligament
  (MCL/LCL). These injuries may require treatment
  with cortisone, PRF, or even surgery.

2. Tears in the knee cartilage

  common. Cartilage is a flexible and tough tissue
  that covers the end of your bones. Cartilage also
  comprises of the medial and lateral meniscus.

Type of Arthritis

1. Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Knee
2. Post-traumatic Arthritis
3. Osteoarthritis of the Knee

1. Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Knee

• This type of arthritis is an autoimmune disease
  that results in the tissue around the joint to
  get inflamed and thickened. Severe Chronic
  inflammation results into damage and loss of
  cartilage. It is relatively less frequent than
  the other types of arthritis.

2. Post-traumatic Arthritis

• A severe knee injury might cause post-traumatic
  arthritis. Such an injury generally comprises of
  bone fractures and ligament tears. These injuries
  can damage the cartilage in your knee, eventually
  leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. This is
  a form of osteoarthritis.

3. Osteoarthritis of the Knee

• It eventually results in the progressive wearing
  of the cartilage in the knee joint. It is more
  frequent in individuals who are 50 and above.
  This condition causes pain, limited mobility,
  stiffness of the knee, swelling of the joint,
  tenderness, deformity and fragility.
