Common causes and anatomical principles of knee injury and the treatment of different injuries
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
A knee injury is a common problem that affects people of all ages and activity levels. This review article outlines the anatomy of some common knee injuries and the effective treatment and rehabilitation for different situations. By studying the causes of a knee injury, such as common ones such as pre-cross ligament cracks, semi-monthly plate wear, and pancreatitis, we can determine that treatment for different injuries depends on the specific injury and may include conservative management with rest, physical therapy, surgery, or surgical intervention. At the same time, rehabilitation is an important part of knee injury management, which can have a bearing on when an athlete can return to play and how rehabilitation can improve sports performance for athletic patients.
