🧠 What Are Knee Injuries?
Knee injuries refer to any damage affecting the bones, ligaments, cartilage, or muscles surrounding the knee joint. These injuries can range from mild strains to severe ligament tears requiring long-term rehabilitation.
The knee is a complex joint that supports body weight, making it one of the most frequently injured joints in the body.

🔹 Falls and Accidents
Direct trauma to the knee can cause fractures or soft tissue injuries.
