Common Knee Ligament Injuries
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury commonly puts people on the bench. In fact, the pain is sharp and sudden and can limit what you do.

Athletic individuals are likely familiar with knee pain, specifically, pain at the front of the knee. However, this has been called both runner’s knee and jumper’s knee. But, are they the same thing?
Runner’s knee is when pain occurs in the front of the knee. Specifically, pain in the patellofemoral joint, which is caused by an abnormality in the joint. The patella (kneecap) normally slides along the femur when you move.
Knee pain is often caused by lower back pain, especially when not from an injury.
Knee swelling or knee effusion occurs when water accumulates around the knee. This typically happens as a result of injury, disease, or chronic overuse of the knee.
