Cruciate ligament injuries

The cruciate ligament’s job is to stabilize the knee.
Cruciate ligament injuries, such as tearing or spraining, usually occur when suddenly stopping. or change the direction of movement, or violent jump, They are common accidents in sports such as football and basketball.

Symptoms:

Cartilage and knee ligament injuries

Symptoms:
Knee injuries are among the most common injuries among athletes. It has symptoms that distinguish it from other infections, such as:

Hearing sounds when bending and straightening the knee, such as cracking
The appearance of a prominent bone in the knee area

Types of knee injuries:

Bone fractures: In some sports, the bones surrounding the knee can be fractured, especially in a violent collision or fall.

In this case, the injured person must rely on a skilled physiotherapist so that the injury does not lead to new complications that may impede movement.
Knee sprains are classified into three types according to their severity. Or according to the extent of the rupture to which the ligament was subjected and the resulting insufficiency in the functioning of the knee, Which:
First-degree sprain: It is the simplest type of sprain, and it results from stretching the knee ligaments without rupturing one of them. The condition is controlled to prevent ligament rupture.
Second degree sprain: It results in a partial tear in one of the tissues and a slight dislocation in the knee joint.
Third-degree sprain: It results in a complete rupture of one of the ligaments, and the knee joint then becomes unstable.
Knee stress: caused by stretching of the tendons and muscles of the knee, Which usually occurs from excessive bending and straightening of the knee, which is common in sports such as cycling, or running, This causes knee pain that limits movement.
