This article will cover various types of knee disorders and end their causes, signs, symptoms, and treatment options. 

Knee pain and knee problems affect 25% of the population. Knee problems arise from injuries, degenerative or developmental disorders. 

 Knee Pain Caused By Injuries 

The knee is one of the most injured joints in the body. Knee pain results from injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, meniscus, joints, and bones are all too familiar. Below is a list of common knee injuries we regularly treat in our centers in Malaysia:

• Patellar tendonitis: Patellar tendonitis is also known as “jumper’s knee,” is a form of tendonitis that involves dipped end in a few kneecaps that attaches to the shinbone. It results from repetitive activities such as running and jumping. 
• Bursitis:  A bursa is a small sack fluid near joints to facilitate movement and reduce stress on tendons and muscles. The knee has three bursae—bursitis results when these sacs are irritated and inflamed. 
• Tendonitis: Tendonitis is inflammation and irritation of the tendons of the hamstrings, quadriceps, or the patellar tendon. 
• ACL or PCL tear: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament connecting the thighbone to the shinbone. They provide stability and prevent the knee from dislocating. 
• IT (Ilio-Tibial) band syndrome: IT or the iliotibial band is a tough and long connective tissue or fascia originating from the hip and inserting on the outer part of the knee joint.
• Meniscal tears: Injury to one of the two menisci is common in athletes and non-athletes. The meniscus is a “C-Shaped” shock absorber that distributes the body’s weight, provides lubrication, and assists in smooth flexion and extension of the knee.

Knee Pain Caused By Developmental & Degenerative Processes

Painful knees may also result from developmental and degenerative disorders that cause premature wear and tear of joints, cartilage, and soft tissue. We have listed the common developmental and degenerative changes that cause knee pain in adults and kids below:

• Patellofemoral pain syndrome: patellofemoral pain syndrome results from knee joint instabilities, muscle tightness, or ligamentous weakness that destabilize the knee, making them feel like they buckle or giveaway when standing or walking. They are more common in women.
• Osgood-Schlatter’s disease: Osgood-Schlatter Is a condition that impacts teenagers whose bones are still developing. The pain is at tibial tuberosity, the bump right below the knee joint. The tibial tuberosity is the attachment point for the kneecap’s tendons. In some instances, both the bump and the patellar tendon may be inflamed and painful. 
• Osteoarthritis:  Degenerative arthritis, wear-and-tear arthritis, and osteoarthritis of the knee are interchangeable terms describing premature be generative changes that cause pain.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: rheumatism is the most debilitating form of arthritis resulting from autoimmune conditions. 

Acute Knee Pain & Injurers In Kids Or Adults

Acute knee pain is widespread. It can occur during sports, especially football, basketball, netball, and alpine skiing. These activities involve a lot of twisting around the knee joint and sudden changes of direction. These movements will stress the knee joint if there is insufficient muscle strength to support the knee. Acute knee injuries can be disastrous for athletes, leading to disability, time off sport, and recurrent injuries.

The knee involves two different joints that are located very close to each other. The tibiofemoral joint consists of the thigh bone (femur) and the leg bone (tibia). This tibiofemoral joint is commonly referred to as the knee joint. The primary stabilizers are:

• Medial and lateral collateral ligaments.
• Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
• The meniscus is associated with the tibiofemoral joint.

The patellofemoral joint consists of the knee cap (patellar) and the thigh bone (femur). The stability of the joint comes from the medial reticulum and the patellar tendon/ligament. Each ligament associated with the knee and the meniscus plays a different role to provide stability to the joint. However, there will be damage to multiple associated systems when there is ligamentous damage in the knee. Therefore understanding the mechanism of injury during history taking can provide crucial information to find out the most likely injured structures in the knee. A holistic treatment approach for knee pain that involves ligamentous injury should also address the other related structures.

The Role Of Quadriceps Muscle In Knee

The quadriceps are perhaps the most important muscle of the knee, and they are the primary muscle involved in kicking, jumping, cycling, and running. It is an important muscle that helps you with everyday activity, including getting up from a chair, walking, or climbing the stairs. Therefore, to ensure a healthy, active life, the quadriceps must stay in good health. 

The quadriceps is a combination of four muscles. However, researchers have discovered the possibility of a 5th quadricep head, details of which have not been fully disclosed yet. Therefore, we will continue our discussions of quadriceps as it relates to the following four heads of quadriceps muscles: 

1. Rectus femoris
2. Vastus lateralis
3. Vastus medialis
4. Vastus intermedius

The quadriceps are one of the major muscles of the knee joint, and having proper tone and strength is essential for the knees, hips, and spine. The Rectus femoris is the most noticeable muscle that runs in the front part of the thigh. It originates from the anterior inferior iliac crest of the pelvis bone and the acetabular rim of the hip joint. It inserts into the upper part of the knee cap and indirectly into the tibial tubercle via the patellar tendon.

The Role Of Hamstrings In The Knee

The hamstrings are a group of three muscles at the back of the thighbone (femur). Hamstrings are long, and they cross the hip and the knee joint, performing two essential motions: knee flexion and hip extension and helping with flexion of the knee and extension of the hip, the hamstrings are stabilizers of the knee joint.

Like their opposing counterpart (quadriceps), the hamstrings are active while resting, and they get activated upon weight-bearing activities such as walking, running, and jumping. A healthy hamstring is essential to movements, mobility, and stability of the knee joint, As they are the ACL’s protectors. The hamstrings protect the anterior cruciate ligament or the ACL by acting on the shinbone (tibia) by pulling it backward or posteriorly, and action that protects the ECL from being stretched too far beyond the ACL’s limits. 

Proper tone and strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles are essential for the knee joint. Knee pain, hip pain, and even back pain result when the hamstring and quadriceps muscles are injured, tightened, or weak. Chronic weakness or tightness of these muscles can lead to degeneration and osteoarthritic changes in the entire knee joint.

The Menisci & Their Relationship With Knee Soft Tissue

Menisci As a full term for two menisci of the knee: the medial and lateral meniscus. The menisci are “C” shaped, the medial meniscus as an elongated “C” shaped structure on the inner side of the knee, and the lateral meniscus is the smaller “C” shaped structure on the outer knee. The menisci are a common source of knee pain, and tears are more common in the medial meniscus, also the immovable meniscus. A lateral meniscus (the moveable inner meniscus) may also tear, but a torn lateral meniscus is not as common as a torn medial meniscus. 

The hamstring muscle has a special relationship with the medial meniscus as well as the ACL. The medial meniscus does not directly attach to the hamstring; however, it has an indirect capital connection to the semimembranosus muscle (outer hamstring muscle). 

The medial meniscus and the ACL do not connect directly, but They are somewhat related to a common attachment with the transverse ligament. The only direct ligamentous attachment the medial meniscus has is wet the medial collateral ligament. 

Combined Injuries Of ACL & Meniscus Are Common

Injury to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or the menisci (medial meniscus or lateral) is relatively common. The likelihood of injuring the medial meniscus simultaneously with the ACL it’s relatively high as the mechanism of injury (forceful flexion in twisting of the knee) will damage both. Moreover, the medial meniscus and the ACL have indirect connections to the transverse ligament. Similarly, injuries that cause damage to the lateral meniscus may also injure the ACL; however, lateral meniscal injuries combined with ACL are rare occurrences.

Understanding the role of the knee’s various tissues and the common attachments they have is essential in formulating a holistic treatment plan. Holistic treatment plans to target and focus on all injured tissue related to the patient’s condition. To provide holistic therapies, the mechanism of injury and an in-depth understanding of clinical anatomy and the various conditions that may be present is essential.

Knee Injections & Arthroscopic Surgery

A typical procedure provided by orthopedic surgeons and me specialists is injections or arthroscopic knee surgery. According to a published study in NEJM, arthroscopic surgery is not effective and should be avoided!

Knee injections include corticosteroid injections, hyaluronan acid injections, or stem cell injections are often prescribed to patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Injecting Denise with steroids, stem cells, or hyaluronan acid has not been effective in managing knee pains that provide lasting relief. In fact, a recently published study and the journal of Radiology found patients who were injected with corticosteroids Experienced more knee pain months following the procedure. The authors of this published study reported alarming consequences that they directly linked the steroids, and these include:

1. Rapidly progressive degenerative changes in the knee joint
2. Progressive and rapid degeneration or deterioration of the knee’s cartilage
3. Death of bone and soft tissues near the site of injections

Therefore, we agree with the authors of the study published in the Radiology journal that steroid injections should be carefully approached and perhaps avoided altogether. Hyaluronic Acid injections or given to provide a synthetic lubricant for the knee joint. However, the benefits are limited. As for stem cell injections, they have not made many improvements in the overall well-being of the knee or joints. Therefore, considering the evidence has been published in various studies, invasive procedures are not as effective as they may have told you. As such, we encourage a conservative approach when it comes to knee pain treatment. If the conservative approach fails, surgical interventions such as partial or total knee replacements may be helpful.
