Knee Pain and Injury Specialists in DFW

Knee pain affects millions of people of all ages and may be the result of injuries, mechanical problems, types of arthritis, and other problems. The most common conditions that cause knee pain include:

• Arthritis — Knee arthritis can make it hard to do many everyday activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. Symptoms of knee arthritis include stiffness, difficulty bending and straightening the knee, pain, swelling, locking, grinding noise, and weakness.
  
  
• Fractures— Most knee fractures are caused by high-impact trauma such as falls and car accidents. Symptoms of knee fractures include severe pain, unable to bear weight, swelling, bruising, tenderness, and deformity of the leg or knee.
  
  
• Ligament Tears — The knee joint relies on ligaments and surrounding muscles for stability. Ligament tears are a common problem for athletes, particularly those involved in contact sports, however, sports are not the only cause of this injury.
  
  
• Meniscus Tears — Meniscus tears, also commonly referred to as torn cartilage in the knee, often happen during sports activities or as a natural result of arthritis and aging. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling, locking, instability, and limited range of motion.
