Knee pain
The knee is a crucial intermediate joint in a long segment of the body and is the most commonly injured joint. Its importance lies in its ability to absorb various forces from the musculoskeletal system. The knee experiences stresses from both the foot’s adaptation to the ground and 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 Instituto Cugat is likely one of the most experienced in meniscus and cruciate ligament surgery in Spain.
