What are the common causes of knee pain?
-
There are many causes of knee pain, which can be categorised into different age groups. Broadly speaking, patients are usually young (children and adolescents), middle aged (30 - 60 years) and mature (50 years plus).
-
Young patients commonly suffer injuries which may need a repair or reconstruction procedure, such as meniscal or ligament injury. These can be time critical.
-
Middle aged patients can also suffer the same injuries as younger patients, but may also be making a transition into more degenerative conditions which may require joint preservation techniques.
-
More mature patients generally suffer with degenerative conditions which might warrant joint replacement.
