Knee pain<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Knee pain – when the largest joint in the body sends out alarm signals<\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Many people complain repeatedly or even permanently about knee pain. This is hardly surprising, as the knee joint is the largest joint in the human body. Day after day, it is subjected to enormous strain, which can lead to signs of wear and tear in the long term. As a result, knee pain often occurs in connection with permanent incorrect loading, overweight, age-related cartilage wear in the knee joint or intensive sporting activities. Unyielding muscles and adhered fascia also ensure that the cartilage in the knee joints is severely compressed and becomes increasingly worn.<\/p>\n

Due to its complicated structure and great mobility, the knee is also highly susceptible to injury. It is a finely tuned apparatus of ligaments, tendons and muscles that have to stabilize the large knee joint. Athletes can tell you a thing or two about what can go wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The brain sends us pain to prevent further damage to the cartilage and the knee joint. That’s why every pain prompts us not to carry on as before.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Precise diagnostics – not all knee pain is the same<\/h3>\n

In orthopaedics and as your orthopaedist in M\u00fcnster<\/u>, we generally differentiate between four different types of knee pain depending on the location: in the front of the knee, on the inside or outside of the knee and in the knee joint itself. The location of the knee pain already gives us valuable information about the possible causes.<\/p>\n

As part of a precise, cause-oriented diagnosis, we also find out exactly when your knee pain occurred or started: For example, did the knee pain occur after an accident or injury? In most cases, knee pain is also associated with certain movement sequences. The quality of the pain is also a good indication for the diagnosis: Is the pain dull, pressing, stabbing and deep-seated? Is the knee pain only temporary, permanent or can it even be “run away”?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
