Knee

The knee is the largest joint in the body and the most commonly used. It provides stability and flexibility for your body, and allows your legs to bend and straighten. The components of the knee – cartilage, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones – work together to protect the joint during everyday activities such as walking and running.

Any part of the knee may be injured. Knee pain can indicate a number of different problems such as arthritis, tendonitis, cartilage or ligament tears, and more. When pain disrupts your day-to-day mobility and prevents you from participating in your favorite athletic activities, it’s time to seek expert orthopedic treatment.
