Expert Insight from Dr. Dhaval Goswami (MS Ortho, MCCEE Canada, IATSIC Australia)

The knee joint is one of the most important parts of the human body. It is not only the largest joint but also one of the most complex, playing a vital role in movement, stability, and balance. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most commonly injured joints, especially among athletes, senior citizens, and people with physically demanding lifestyles.

🔎 Anatomy of the Knee Joint

The knee joint is made up of:

• Four Bones – femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), fibula (small bone of the lower leg), and patella (kneecap).

• Several Ligaments – that provide stability and prevent excessive movement.

• Tendons – connecting muscles to bones, allowing the knee to bend and straighten.

This structure makes the knee both strong and flexible, but also vulnerable to injury and wear-and-tear.

⚠️ Common Knee Problems

• Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage leading to stiffness and pain.

• Ligament Injuries (like ACL tears) – Common in sports and accidents.

• Meniscus Tears – Cartilage injury causing pain and restricted movement.

• Fractures & Trauma – From falls, accidents, or sports injuries.
