The Knee Unit specialises in the treatment and research of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions affecting this joint. Orthopaedic surgeons employ methods and techniques, such as diagnostic imaging, to minimise surgical risks and ensure the best possible treatment and rapid recovery.

Knee pain

The knee is an intermediate joint of a long segment and the most frequently injured in the body. It is important because it must absorb various forces from the locomotor system. On one hand, the stresses derived from the adaptation of the foot to the ground, and on the other, the stresses coming from the hip

Unlike other joints, it is not inherently well-adapted. Its stability relies heavily on a highly developed capsuloligamentous apparatus. Much of its pathology stems from damage to this meniscus-ligament containment system.

The rise in physical activity and sports participation has resulted in a corresponding increase in knee injuries.

The Knee Unit at the Cugat Institute is likely one of the most experienced in meniscus and cruciate ligament surgery in Spain.
