Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints that brings a patient to the doctor. Knee pain is caused by a wide spectrum of disorders, ranging from traumatic injuries to the soft tissue, disruption of ligaments or menisci, infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative conditions of the joint. Patients (often athletes) with traumatic injuries present in the acute setting, often with a history of antecedent trauma to the extremity, resulting in damage to ligaments, menisci, and bones. Occasionally, rheumatoid arthritis starts in the knee as a chronic mono-articular synovitis. Sooner or later, however, other joints become involved. Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disorder in which there is progressive softening and disintegration of articular cartilage accompanied by new growth of a bone at the joint margins & capsular fibrosis. It differs from simple wear &tear in several ways:  is asymmetrically distributed & often localized to one part of a joint & is related to abnormal loading rather than frictional wear[1]
