The Knee is a commonly injured joint in all age groups. In younger people it tends to be sport injuries where twisting movements may damage the soft tissues supporting the knee joint. As we age through normal wear and tear degenerative disorders of the knee tend to become more common (e.g. Osteoarthritis). With all knee problems pain tends to be an issue due to the knees role in supporting body weight and helping with movement such as walking or running.
