OSTEOARTHRITIS
Knee joints will slowly degenerate overtime, but when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of two bones is significantly worn out, it may cause pain. It usually occurs in the hands, knees, hips or spine. Certain factors may accelerate joint degeneration such as being overweight, repeated stress on the joint, multiple injuries, bone deformities and having certain diseases such as diabetes.
It is a group of diseases characterised by inflammation of the joints and often other parts of the body. Chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can cause your joints to be red, tender, swollen and warm.
INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS
Patellar (knee cap) fracture
It occurs upon high impact trauma such as a fall or car accident.
KNEE INJURIES
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury
Your ACL runs diagonally to the front of the knee, stabilising your knee joint. Improper landing or an abrupt change in direction of the knee joint can lead to this. Football players are especially at risk.
