Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions \u2014 including arthritis, gout and infections \u2014 also can cause knee pain. Your knee joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid. Muscles and tendons help the knee joint move. When any of these structures is hurt or diseased, you have knee problems. Knee problems can cause pain and difficulty walking Causes of Knee Conditions A knee injury can affect any of the ligaments, tendons or fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint as well as the bones, cartilage and ligaments that form the joint itself. Some of the more common knee injuries include: ACL injury Torn meniscus Knee bursitis Patellar tendinitis ACL injury An ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) \u2014 one of four ligaments that connect your shinbone to your thighbone. \u00a0 Treatment Options Arthroscopic surgery : Depending on your injury, your doctor may be able to examine and repair your joint damage using a fiber-optic camera and long, narrow tools inserted through just a few small incisions around your knee. Arthroscopy may be used to remove loose bodies from your knee joint, remove or repair damaged cartilage (especially if it is causing your knee to lock), and reconstruct torn ligaments. Partial knee replacement surgery : In this procedure (unicompartmental arthroplasty), your surgeon replaces only the most damaged portion of your knee with parts made of metal and plastic. The surgery can usually be performed through small incisions, so you&#8217;re likely to heal more quickly than you are with surgery to replace your entire knee. Total knee replacement : In this procedure, your surgeon cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap, and replaces it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers. Torn meniscus The meniscus is formed of tough, rubbery cartilage and acts as a shock absorber between your shinbone and thighbone. \u00a0 Treatment Options Arthroscopic surgery : Depending on your injury, your doctor may be able to examine and repair your joint damage using a fiber-optic camera and long, narrow tools inserted through just a few small incisions around your knee.

Total knee replacement : In this procedure, your surgeon cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap, and replaces it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers. Knee bursitis Some knee injuries cause inflammation in the bursae, the small sacs of fluid that cushion the outside of your knee joint so that tendons and ligaments glide smoothly over the joint. \u00a0 Treatment Options Arthroscopic surgery : Depending on your injury, your doctor may be able to examine and repair your joint damage using a fiber-optic camera and long, narrow tools inserted through just a few small incisions around your knee.
