Knee

Arthritis: Knee arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis, is a common cause of knee pain and stiffness, especially in older adults. Symptoms may include swelling, crepitus (grinding sensation), and difficulty walking. Treatment options range from lifestyle modifications and medications to physical therapy, injections, or knee replacement surgery for severe cases.

Replacement: Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint with artificial components. It is typically recommended for individuals with severe arthritis or significant knee damage that interferes with daily activities and quality of life.

Sprain: Knee sprains occur when ligaments in the knee are stretched or torn due to sudden twisting or impact. Symptoms include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected knee. Treatment involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), bracing, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery for severe cases.

Fractures: Knee fractures can result from trauma, falls, or sports injuries, causing pain, swelling, deformity, and difficulty moving the knee. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture but may include casting, splinting, traction, or surgery to realign the bones and promote healing.

Frozen Knee: Frozen knee, similar to frozen shoulder, involves stiffness and limited range of motion in the knee joint, often due to prolonged immobilization or underlying medical conditions. Treatment typically includes physical therapy, stretching exercises, and occasionally corticosteroid injections to improve mobility and reduce pain.
