Common Causes and Symptoms

Runners Knee Injuries

Runner’s knee, or patellofemoral pain syndrome, is caused by overuse, weak or tight muscles, improper knee alignment, and poor running technique or footwear. It commonly develops from repetitive activities like running, jumping, or squatting, and sudden increases in training intensity, which place extra stress on the kneecap and surrounding tissues

Signs and Symptoms
  • Dull, aching pain around or behind the kneecap
  • Pain after sitting for long periods with bent knees (“moviegoer’s knee”)
  • Grinding or popping sensation in the knee during movement
  • Swelling or tenderness around the kneecap

Cartilage injuries

Cartilage injuries can occur due to sudden trauma, repetitive stress, overuse, or age-related wear and tear. Direct impacts, twisting movements, and sports-related activities often contribute to cartilage damage. These injuries commonly cause pain, swelling, and limited joint movement.

Signs and Symptoms
  • Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
  • Catching, locking, or grinding sensation during movement
  • Pain in the knee, especially during activity or when bearing weight
  • Swelling or stiffness around the joint

Meniscal Injuries

Meniscal injuries often result from sudden twisting or pivoting movements, direct impact to the knee, or degenerative changes.

Signs and Symptoms
  • Knee pain, especially when twisting or squatting
  • Popping or clicking sensation in the knee
  • Swelling and stiffness
  • Difficulty fully extending the knee

ACL Injuries

Most commonly occur during sports involving sudden stops, direction changes, or landing from jumps. Direct contact to the knee, especially from the side, can tear the ligament. Poor landing mechanics and muscle imbalances increase risk, particularly in female athletes.

Signs and Symptoms
  • Popping sound at injury
  • Immediate swelling
  • Knee instability
  • Unable to continue activity
